Join the library and Mayo Clinic Biomedical Ethics Research for a virtual book discussion on Hidden Valley Road: Inside the Mind of an American Family by Robert Kolker. Hidden Valley Road is the story of a midcentury American family with twelve children, six of them diagnosed with schizophrenia. The book chronicles the family's journey navigating each other, the healthcare system, and research participation to understand the disease.  A New York Time's bestseller and Oprah's Book Club pick, this heart-rending nonfiction story sheds light on mental illness.
