The author chronicles the journey her family had through rare illnesses. It details what life was like growing up with a sick mother and alcoholic father in rural Saskatchewan, Canada. Diana learns how to mother her siblings even though she is the youngest and just a small child herself. Even though she is young, Diana proves age doesn&#8217;t matter when there is no one else to take on the duties of the house.<\/p>\n<p>Once into adulthood, Diana works hard to push past the brokenness she feels inside, but is hit again with another hard blow, this time with her sister.
