It's called "Divided Minds". It is a true story about two twin sisters who both developed Schizophrenia. One of them grows out of it and is completely normal, and the other is completely confined by it. The book is written by both sisters, and it's great to see how they each viewed each other and themselves. It’s a few months old, but I think it’s well worth your time. It’s called “Divided Minds”.

I read about "The Little Stranger" a few months ago and thought it sounded interesting. I'll have to remember to look for it the next time I'm at B&N. I LOVED “The Forgotten Garden,” by Kate Morton.

This is one of the funniest books I've read in a long time--and it's about homeowners insurance! It's basically a how to not get screwed-over by your insurance company book, very timely considering the national debate about health insurance. The insights about insurers are dead-on and drop-dead hilarious. “The Claim Game” by Andrew Wallingford.
