The diagnosis made her mourn for her mother for the first time in four decades. Since her teens, Makenzie struggled to figure out why her mother killed herself and why she was so willing to die. She went looking for answers and found a lot more than she bargained for.
The story is told from two different perspectives on the same set of events. One side is told by Lucille, the mother, and the other side is told by Makenzie, the daughter.
