Description
But when a suicide attempt lands Sophie's mother in the hospital, Sophie no longer has to watch over her. She moves in with her aunt, uncle, and cousin—a family she’s been estranged from for the past five years. Rolling her suitcase across town to her family's house is easy. What's harder is figuring out how to rebuild her life.
And as her mother’s release approaches and the old obligations loom, Sophie finds herself torn between her responsibilities toward her mother and her desire to live her own life, Sophie must decide what to do next.

Heart-wrenching story of a young girl trying to survive her mother's bipolar disorder without getting any help, which she desperately needs.
philomena c, Reviewer
This is a brilliantly well written debut novel. I read this in one sitting as I couldn't put it down. The author has taken the subject of mental illness and written it into a beautiful and emotional story.
Sixteen year old Sophie comes home to her bipolar mum having overdosed. Sophie has been caring for her mum for years. Now that her mum is in hospital Sophie must stay with her aunt, uncle and cousin. Living with them she realises her life could be so different without the responsibility of her mother. Just when she's adjusting her mum is on the mend and needs her help again. Will Sophie reach out and ask for help herself.
Not enough books are written about mental health. This book was so well written. I'll certainly be recommending this book to others.
