The survivor of two suicide attempts begins a quest to understand her family's curse of depression, as well as its many gifts and rumored nobility. The story begins with her girlhood in Roslyn Village on Long Island but as her son takes up her unfinished work, it leads him to the Scottish border and back to the Jewish ghettos and villages of Bohemia, and finally forward to descendants on five continents.

Award winning writer Wallace Kaufman follows his own memoir, Coming Out of the Woods, with this multi-generation history of two families--Bohemian Jews and English ragpickers, farmers, masons, and poets who merge in America. His other books include a history of environmental thinking, a book on houses, a social and natural history of American beaches, and a guide to invasive plants, co-authored with his daughter Dr. Sylvan Ramsey Kaufman. Kaufman lives in western Oregon, frequently working in Central Asia and the former Soviet Union.
