This is a delightful book written in verse rather than prose in the way it is displayed in the book, but reads like prose - not rhyming words. It is a short and quick read about the struggles of a teen-age girl whose mother has a mental illness, back in the '60's when there was little information out about it. It is an honest forthcoming book about her feelings and confusions and is based on the author's true life. It is considered a youth book but great for adults, too. I highly recommend it.
