This was a very intriguing, educational, eye-opening, and even emotional read. I liked how we got both diary entries from Dr. Perry Baird and words from his daughter. It added another perspective and dimension to the memoir/book. Both sections of the book were poignant and captivated me. I would definitely recommend you check this out! You will not only learn about the doctor but also about manic depression, mental illness, and mental wards (back in the older days at least).
