Summary:
"All Kait Leddy had ever wanted was a little sister. When Kyleigh was born, they were inseparable. Kait would protect her, include her, cuddle and comfort her--and, to Kyleigh, her big sister was her whole world. As they grew, however, and as Kait entered adolescence, her personality began to change. She was lashing out emotionally and physically, and losing touch with reality in certain ways. The family struggled to keep this side of Kait private. At school, she was still the gorgeous, effervescent life of the party, with a burgeoning modeling career and big dreams. But slowly, things were beginning to shatter, and Kyleigh could only watch in horror as Kait was diagnosed with schizophrenia, and Kyleigh's perfect sibling's world collapsed. Then, one January evening, days before Kyleigh's seventeenth birthday, Kait disappeared. Split by grief yet buoyed by the incredible love she and her sister had shared, Kyleigh began a fight for answers, refusing to believe that Kait's shining light could be extinguished. Then, one January evening, days before Kyleigh's seventeenth birthday, Kait disappeared. Split by grief yet buoyed by the incredible love she and her sister had shared, Kyleigh began a fight for answers, refusing to believe that Kait's shining light could be extinguished. In this gorgeous, uplifting, and unforgettable memoir of hope, mental illness, and the unbreakable bonds of family, Leddy brings to vivid, powerful life an inspiring story of two young girls battling a monster far larger than themselves."--Publisher.
