I was interested in this storyline. It has been recognised that there is a higher rate of emotional and behavioural difficulties in children who’s parents suffer from poor mental health. Shapiro has taken this very difficult subject and tackled it with honesty and emotion. Beautifully written account of her childhood and the impact of her mothers mental health. In a world where many are quoted as saying how resilient children are it is so important to realise that this is often not the case. Mental health and the impact it can have on others around you, not just the sufferer, is such an important issue which should not be ignored. I was given a free copy of this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
