Meg Kissinger's memoir, While You Were Out, is a heartbreaking exploration of a family besieged by mental illness. Growing up in Chicago in the 1960s, the family faced a harsh reality with a heavily medicated mother, a violent father, and children with bipolar disorder and depression. The memoir explores the consequences of shame, botched public policy, and the hope offered by new treatment strategies. It is a powerful, candid, and surprising memoir of one family's love and resilience in the face of great loss.
