Book Reviews of The Lives They Left Behind: Suitcases from a State Hospital Attic

Book Review: The Lives They Left Behind
Summary: 5 Stars

Very interesting. So difficult to realize the suffering patients endured
before modern knowledge caught up. At least I hope they (patients) are treated with more respect and kindness.
Would reccomend to anyone that has interest in history.
