The Next Chapter: A 55+ Book Discussion Group: No One Cares About Crazy People, by Ron Powers
Wednesday, July 17 at 11 AMJoin us for our monthly 55+ book discussion group, The Next Chapter, in collaboration with Northville Senior Services. We will meet at the Community Center the third Wednesday of each month at 11 AM. We plan to alternate fiction and non-fiction titles.
This month’s selection is No One Cares About Crazy People, by Ron Powers.
A searching, richly researched narrative of the social history of mental illness in America paired with the deeply personal story of the author’s two sons’ battles with schizophrenia. A blend of history, biography, memoir, and current affairs ending with a consideration of where we might go from here, this is a thought-provoking look at a dreaded illness that has long been misunderstood.
