#966
Title: When Quietness Came: A Neuroscientist's Personal Journey with Schizophrenia 
Author: Erin L. Hawkes
Publisher: Bridgeross Communications
Year: 2012
246 pages

A memoir that very nicely illustrates many features of schizophrenia. The author is intelligent and well-spoken. Her difficulties with some kinds of judgment and insight come through in the authorial voice as well as in the narrative. A good memoir for teaching, I think, and I wish her well.
