The Boy Who Loved Tornadoes

“Randi Davenport’s The Boy Who Loved Tornadoes (Algonquin) is about her son Chase’s psychotic breakdown at age 15. One doctor diagnosed him as “ ‘Chase NOS’—Chase Not Otherwise Specified. ‘He’s a population of one,’ ” as is this unforgettable memoir of a shattered family, a mother’s abiding love, and the frightening permutations of the human mind.”–Lisa Shea, Elle Magazine
