Description

This is the story of a family led to confront a crisis they had never foreseen. Aged eleven, their eldest daughter has stopped eating and speaking. Alongside diagnoses of autism and selective mutism, her parents slowly become aware of another source for her distress: her imperilled future on a rapidly heating planet.Steered by her determination to understand the truth, the family begins to see the deep connections between their own and the planet's suffering. Against forces that try to silence them, disparaging them for being different, they discover ways to strengthen, heal, and act in the world. And then one day, fifteen-year-old Greta decides to go on strike.

While the book does go into the issues surrounding Climate Change, I felt the primary focus of the book was mental illness. It addressed prejudices against mental health, inadequacies in current mental health programs, & the enormous # of people dealing w/ so level of mental health problem. It talked about family stress families experience int their efforts to stabilize a loving family system. I was reminded of the rather sad but normal stress that particularly the young people of generation Z are experiencing as they face environmental, political, and economic. It was almost painful to read, but valuable.
