Opis

After viewing an afternoon talk show, sixteen-year-old Olivia discovers her mother's strange behavior might be more than a case of eccentricity, she may be mentally ill. Olivia fears being left behind to care for her mother when older sister CeCe moves away in June to take a shot at stardom. After the truth about her mother is confirmed, Olivia must trust the only people who offer help: one strange man and a friend her mother makes at the mental institution. "Sweet Tea is a fine young adult story... So many titles on mental illness narrow the focus to coping and neglect the overall bigger picture of how a home life with mental illness can interact with a wider world outside home's front door...Not so Sweet Tea, which provides a more realistic portrait from a teen's viewpoint that embraces so much more than a singular concern... ...Sweet Tea offers a bittersweet taste of what life's all about, and will immerse young adult and adult readers alike in a life well lived. " - D. Donovan, Book Reviewer, Midwest
