From an anonymous letter on the inside of the cover of my copy of this book," This book will help explain some of the experiences in our family....... I could never explain what it is like to have this disease as well as these pages do." Patty Duke's own story is intertwined with anecdotes from others suffering from this disease. There is also much helpful information about the varying faces of this disease, medication, treatment, and heredity. Certainly a " must - read" for those faced with this baffling disorder in their family or themselves.
