Paperback Softcover Copy Book The Lives They Left Behind Suitcases From A State

Fall in love with this softcover paperback copy of The Lives They Left Behind: Suitcases from a State Hospital Attic by Darbey Penney and Peter Stastny. Condition: Gently used with minimal signs of wear. More than four hundred abandoned suitcases filled with patients' belongings were found when Willard Psychiatric Center closed in 1995 after 125 years of operation. In this fully-illustrated social history, they are skillfully examined and compared to the written record to create a moving-and devastating-group portrait of twentieth-century American psychiatric care. Offers are always welcome.
