Heartbreaking yet hopeful.
My heart definitely broke for Anna and her siblings as they struggled with trying to function normally while dealing with their mother's mental struggles and a father who is barely around. But they way everyone deals with it and, eventually, come to find a beginning to a solution provides so much understanding and hope that was so beautiful.
CW: racism, discussion of suicide/attempted suicide recounted, mental health issues leading to institutionalization, emotional/physical abuse, bullying, animal cruelty
