New York Times bestselling author Robert Kolker’s Hidden Valley Road: Inside the Mind of an American Family, follows the true story of the Galvins, a large family upended by acute schizophrenia in the 1960s and ’70s. At the time, the family hid its anguish and trauma behind a shiny veneer of all-American normalcy, but beyond the curtain was a history of psychological breakdowns, sudden violence, and abuse centered around the six of Don and Mimi Galvins’ 12 children who were ultimately diagnosed with schizophrenia. Joining him is Carol Fitzgerald, president and founder of The Book Report Network and host of the “Bookreporter Talks To” video/podcast series.
