ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Hidden Valley Road” by Robert Kolker tells the heartbreaking and complex story of the Galvin family, whose lives are deeply impacted by schizophrenia. The family, consisting of twelve children, is torn apart as multiple sons develop the disorder, leading to violent behavior, hospitalizations, and long-lasting emotional scars. Kolker explores the intersection of genetics and mental illness, as the Galvins become key subjects in scientific research on schizophrenia. The book addresses themes of family dynamics, stigma, and resilience, shedding light on the personal and societal struggles surrounding mental health while weaving in the broader scientific context of psychiatric care.
