Called "magisterial" by The Guardian, this haunting memoir asks: What happens when good intentions collapse? Former NIMH director Thomas Insel calls it "wrenching" - a must-read on America's mental health crisis.

Two ten-year-old boys bonded over books on Mereland Road in 1973, forming a friendship that would span decades and end in unthinkable tragedy. Michael Laudor and Jonathan Rosen seemed destined for parallel lives of intellectual achievement-both bright Jewish kids from similar backgrounds, both headed to Yale. But Michael's house, literally propped up by thousands of books stacked like columns in the basement, foreshadowed something profound: knowledge can be both foundation and precarious support. What neither boy could see was the genetic shadow already present in Michael's family. His grandmother Frieda, whom he affectionately called "crazy," actually had schizophrenia-a legacy that would eventually claim Michael himself and transform him from Yale Law School graduate to someone who would commit an act that shattered everyone who knew him.
