The Almost Moon (Audio CD) (Unabridged)

This novel is about a woman who grows up an only child with a mentally ill mother and, as we later find out, an enabling and slightly mentally ill father. We are taken through her childhood and some adulthood to where she is finally the sole caretaker of her elderly mother. Her final time with her mother and then her subsequent acts proves to the reader that she has not escaped her own mental illness. My biggest problem with this book is the ending. The reader is left hanging, with no ending.
