Description

The moving true story of a teenage girl growing up with a depressive father 'I was fourteen when I found my Dad trying to commit suicide in the garage. Sounds shocking doesn't it But that was part of me, part of living with my Dad' Sarah's Diary is the very personal diary of Sarah Griffin - an ordinary teenage girl learning to deal with the ups and downs of family life. On the outside hers was like any other family, but behind closed doors lay a sad and lonely secret. Sarah's Dad had depression -- a condition we've all heard of but seldom discuss. Beautifully written, brutally honest, Sarah's story is compelling reading.
