Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 290
On a summer night in 2009, three lives intersected in one American neighborhood. Two people newly in love - Teresa Butz and Jennifer Hopper, who spent many years trying to find themselves and who eventually found each other - and a young man on a dangerous psychological descent: Isaiah Kalebu, age 23, the son of a distant, authoritarian father and a mother with a family history of mental illness. All three paths forever altered by a violent crime, all three stories a wake-up call to the system that failed to see the signs.

Powerful, provocative and pensive.

An honest and brilliantly written account of all sides of a horrific crime. It's rare to find a reporter so willing to explore the background of victims and criminals alike and to find a survivor with so much strength and courage to fight for justice.

Pete Earley had no idea. He'd been a journalist for over 30 years, and the author of several award-winning, even best-selling, nonfiction books about crime and punishment and society. Yet he'd always been on the outside looking in. He had no idea what it was like to be on the inside looking out until his son, Mike, was declared mentally ill, and Earley was thrown headlong into the maze of contradictions, disparities, and catch-22s that is America's mental health system.

A smartly written expose on a harrowing part of the human condition
Revisado: 07-27-16
Pete Early does a phenomenal job intertwining his personal story with mental illness through his son's diagnosis, struggles, and bout with hospitalization and the legal system with a journalistic investigation on the many tenants of the nexus between civil rights, medical care, the penal system, and the mentally ill. This book does a great job acknowledging and indeed exposing the many players involved in our society vis a vis the mentally ill, and gives a voice to what is arguably the most forgotten and underrepresented part of our population- the mentally ill.
