Esther tries to hide just how sick Deborah is, because she can't stand the thought of others' judgement. While Deborah makes progress at the hospital, back at home, her younger sister Suzy starts coming into her own. Sounds like the doc's got her work cut out for her.

Her parents, Jacob and Esther, drive her from Chicago to a mental hospital in the country where she will live for the next three years. It's the fall of 1948, and Deborah Blau, a sixteen-year-old schizophrenic, is finally going to get the help she needs. ![]() Our novel starts out with a pleasant ride through the country…but this isn't the family vacation you might be picturing.
