When I began this read I wondered why I chose this book. I was confused but no more confused than the characters in the novel. However, as I read more I became caught up in the problems of the family that was trying to cope with the changing behavior of the father. They, too, were confused. He didn't want to go to work. He wouldn't eat. He couldn't sleep. They sought medical help but the medications didn't help either so they turned to the internet seeking other solutions. When these didn't help the family found returned to their doctor. Their lives were dedicated to to watching and caring for a father who seemed lost. Someone had to be with the father always. They had no lives of their own. Would anything help? Read the novel for your self to discover the answer.
