Title: but no history offered...
Product review: I was disappointed with this book, as it seemed to start to lead somewhere, and then wander off. I first thought the abrupt change in the daughter's behaviour, that leads to her being mentally ill was just not quite right in the description. She was perfect one moment, the child from hell the next. She returns from camp with a navel piercing: no professional would do that for a 14 year old and it is practically impossible to do yourself. Then there was the accident, it seemed almost as if Kate was going to admit she was on drugs or drinking when it happened,but she never did. It seemed a little too trite considering the heavy tone of the writing in the aftermath. However, the description of the borderline personality mother was perfection in itself: how they ruin the lives of others. That alone was worth the read. Rest of it was just below average. Also, as it was called Family History, it never linked the mental illness to the family, in my estimation.
