It is a story about the author's aunt who he never knew existed. She died in a "mental institution" and he explains in the book how he found her records. You can buy it cheapest on Amazon.com.

Thank You so much. My maternal grandmother was institutionalized from early 1920 til my birth or after in 1941. She was in Toledo. I will certainly be glad to find out how to find and get the records. My Mother was born in 1915 and has now passed and what happened to her Mother was very painful. So Thanks again for the info.
