After World War II\, Don's work with the Air Force broug ht them to Colorado\, where their twelve children perfectly spanned the ba by boom: the oldest born in 1945\, the youngest in 1965. In those years\, there was an established script for a family like the Galvins--aspiration\ , hard work\, upward mobility\, domestic harmony--and they worked hard to play their parts. But behind the scenes was a different story: psychologic al breakdown\, sudden shocking violence\, hidden abuse. By the mid-1970s\, six of the ten Galvin boys\, one after another\, were diagnosed as schizo phrenic. How could all this happen to one family?
