In Garey’s debut novel, successful Hollywood studio exec Greyson Todd leaves his wife and family to travel the world for a decade. As he explores the wonders of Rome, Thailand, and Uganda, he is forced to delve into his own bipolar disorder, kept hidden until now, and the unraveling of his own father. Nelson calls it a brilliant, fresh look at mental illness. “In terms of really getting inside the head of someone having a breakdown, this really is very strong.”
