While You Were Out

by Meg Kissinger

If you loved Jeannette Wall's book The Glass Castle or Robert Kolker's book Hidden Valley Road, then you won't be able to put this book down! Meg's background as an investigative journalist serves her well as she recounts her family's struggles with mental illness in the '60s and '70s. Nurture or nature? There may never be easy answers, but Meg encourages the reader that only love and understanding can conquer this disease.
