What They're Saying
Critics Review
A Schneider Family Book Award Honor winner
“The power of Hourigan’s metaphorical yet crystal-clear portrayal of depression lies in its simple but impressively evocative use of color symbolism….Sensitive, honest, and expertly done.”–Kirkus Reviews
“An essential glimpse of the impact of one person’s mental health issues on the entire family, and a lovingly crafted path to a realistic resolution–not a cure, but managing.”–SLJ
