Description

Elephant in the Sky is told from both nine-year-old Nate's point of view and that of his mother, Ashley, an overworked ad executive who struggles with a demanding workload and the worry that she's not spending enough time with her family - especially as her son's battle with mental unbalance and paranoid delusions escalates. The two narratives converge in a deeply moving tale of a family dealing with mental illness.

Reviews

"Heather Clark's second novel, Elephant in the Sky, offers a clear portrait of childhood mental illness and accompanying family stress . . . Nate's chapters, in particular, are skillfully crafted. They provide an accurate portrayal of childlike thought patterns, both rational and delusional." -- Foreword Reviews
