Abstract:
Moving her young family to the English countryside to raise goats and coax their own fruit and vegetables from the land should have been Schiller's dream. Then her health began to crumble. The diagnosis: sever ADHD. Schiller's memoir is a clarion call to overturn the narrative that says minds are either normal, or different and broken. -- adapted from jacket
