She never left the house?but she vanished all the same.
In this poignant and intimate true story, Grace Holloway unravels the quiet devastation of growing up with a mother consumed by schizophrenia. From the outside, their life looked ordinary. But behind closed doors, the house pulsed with silence, suspicion, and a love strained by delusion.
As her mother disappeared into paranoia and shadows, Grace learned to become invisible?to listen for danger, to decipher moods like a second language, and to survive. And yet, through it all, she clung to love. Because even as her mother vanished in plain sight, Grace remained?witness, daughter, caretaker, survivor.
Vanished in Plain Sight is a haunting and hopeful memoir of mental illness, generational silence, and the enduring power of love.
