Join us for the launch of Mad Sisters by Susan Grundy, a deeply moving memoir that explores the journey of caregiving and sisterhood through the lens of mental illness. This poignant narrative shares the story of Susan’s older sister’s diagnosis of schizophrenia at the age of thirteen and the emotional and psychological toll it took on their family.

Grundy’s candid storytelling delves into the complex dynamics of sibling relationships, guilt, love and resilience, offering readers an intimate look at the challenges faced by caregivers. As Mad Sisters flips through five decades of memories, the memoir brings to light the impact of mental illness on family members and advocates for systemic change in psychiatric care.
