Well done to Tracie for writing about how Mental Illness affects a family.three sisters seeking truth about what happened in their lives 15 years ago and having a father who supported materially but not himself. The fears and wondering, helplessness and feelings of hopelessness of close family members. The battle for getting treatment and staying on meds. interesting how children perceive things and how much pressure the eldest child has to keep quiet over bad things that happen. The changes that have happened in the health system and access to help.Believing in a lie can be traumatic but letting go is a blessing.the outcome being very positive in getting the help and support needed. Maybe and outside person needs to help administer and objective support n view. This family had a lot of misunderstandings and secrets to deal with. By not being honest with each other, they all assumed incorrect information. The family met at a vacation home they owned and hashed it all out. It felt unrealistic to me that for fifteen years they don't go to this vacation home and don't talk about their secrets, then it all comes out in a matter of a few days. I also thought God was awkwardly infused in the story at random times. It did not come across that God was a natural part of their lives.I enjoyed the story being told from Bailee's perspective. The flash backs gave you insight to her childhood.I really liked the fact that going to counseling was treated like going to any other doctor. They encouraged each other to get the help they needed.Overall, this story was okay. I might try a different Tracie Peterson book. More reviews at Ope's Opinions.com
This was an interesting twist on a story, and I bought this book for my own.
