From the publisher

A groundbreaking medical and social history of a devastating hereditary neurological disorder once demonized as "the witchcraft disease" When Phebe Hedges, a woman in East Hampton, New York, walked into the sea in 1806, she made visible the historical experience of a family affected by the dreaded disorder of movement, mind, and mood her neighbors called St.Vitus's dance.
