Irish drama exploring teenage identity. 18-year-old Helen (Annie
Townsend) is asked to play a missing girl, Joy, in a police
reconstruction tracing her last known movements. Joy had everything
that Helen longs for - a loving family, a boyfriend and a bright
future - compared with Helen's own troubled and lonely past spent
in care institutions. Over time, Helen begins to immerse herself in
the role of Joy, ingratiating herself into the lost girl's family,
wearing her clothes and even attempting to seduce her boyfriend.
"A boldly beautiful page-turner about loving and losing someone
with mental illness. I'll be recommending this absorbing memoir for
years to come." ,Cheryl Strayed, best-selling author of Wild Even
as a reporter, Sheila Hamilton missed the signs as her husband
David's mental illness unfolded before her. By the time she had
pieced together the puzzle, it was too late. Her once brilliant and
passionate partner was dead within six weeks of a diagnosis of
bipolar disorder, leaving his young daughter and wife without so
much as a note to explain his actions, a plan to help them recover
from their profound grief, or a solution for the hundreds of
thousands of dollars in debt that they would inherit from him. All
the Things We Never Knew takes readers on a breathtaking journey
from David and Sheila's romance through the last three months of
their life together and into the year after his death. It details
their unsettling spiral from ordinary life into the world of mental
illness, examines the fragile line between reality and madness, and
reveals the true power of love and forgiveness.
