A lethal inheritance

a mother uncovers the science behind three generations of mental illness
Victoria Costello ; foreword by Terrie E Moffitt
Book - 2012

In this riveting story--part memoir, detective story, and scientific investigation, Costello recounts how the mental unraveling of her seventeen-year-old son Alex compelled her to look back into family history for clues to his condition. Eventually she tied Alex's descent into hallucinations and months of shoeless wandering on the streets of Los Angeles to his great grandfather's suicide on a New York City railroad track in 1913.
