This was a very well done story about how one child's mental illness affects everyone in the family for a long time. Some of the book blurbs called it funny or hilarious.  No way. This was very sad. Somewhat hopeful at the end. But this poor family (and especially the youngest daughter) was a train wreck driven by the oldest daughter.
