Keri Whitmore wishes that her daughter's bipolar disorder would merely lift, leaving Trini as the bright and beautiful young girl she once was. But Trini's malady is escalating, not receding, endangering her college prospects and terrorizing those around her. Desperate and confused, her loving mother searches frantically for a quick solution for these deeply ingrained problems. Her growing insights into the bonds of mental illness lend a credible edge to this emotional novel.
'While this feels at times like a mission-driven book, it draws on
all of Moore Campbell's nuance and style.' - PW Starred Review.
'There is a lot going on here, but Campbell deftly weaves the
threads of Keri's life to form a rich and compelling tapestry that
illustrates the tension between a woman's love for her child and her
own need to have a fulfilling life.' - Library Journal
