I’ve been trying to do some reading, and just finished “Daughter” by Ishbel Moore. Sylvie is a normal, every day kind of girl with a best friend named Marissa. Her parents are divorced, and Marissa is trying to deal with taking care of her younger brothers and sisters as well as a drunken mom.
Sylvie’s world turns upside down when her mom starts acting strangely. She dresses strangely, forgets things, doesn’t cook anymore and even forgets her own daughter’s name. Eventually Sylvie finds out her mom has Alzheimer’s, and refuses to believe that she can’t take care of her. As time goes on, she realizes she will have to let her mom go, and try to reconcile with her dad.
