YA
When high-school junior Emma learns that her mother's paranoid behavior is symptomatic of (previously stabilized) schizophrenia, Emma struggles to determine the significance of her mother's diagnosis, in terms of both her family's past and her own future. The characters and concerns feel slightly generic, but Emma's reflections effectively highlight the multiplicity of emotional challenges raised by a loved one's mental-health crisis.
