heartache families with dementia go through, with an added bit of horror.

members and how the daughter does the best she can under the circumstances.

also an excellent twist. Unexpected and tears provoking.

this one fits well in the horror section. Can highly recommend this one, too.

Book
Description by Author:
Stephen Bell
wants to be forgiven for reading his daughter’s diary. But he’s compelled to
dredge every secret as her world changes.
This is the
story of how Sarah’s perfect existence is shattered when everything trusted is
stolen from her. Dad’s quit his job. Mum’s got pregnant and gone mental. But
the boyfriend is a welcome distraction...until crazy is dialled to the max.
Sarah tries
to be normal among her peers — but normal won’t let her be.
In a change
from Black’s usual style, she breathes life into a family at breaking point.
But readers will be left with no doubt that this is Katherine Black at her
psychological best.
In her trademark
signature of getting into the darkest corners of the psyche, she takes them one
step closer to the very brink of dancing with the crazies.
This is no
Disneyland. This is Nowhere Boulevard...
