About This Item
New Horizon Press, 2000. First Edition, First Printing 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. This is the memoir of a woman whose mother, a former schoolteacher disabled by mental illness, disappeared one day -- and was eventually found murdered. The author takes us through the process of finding justice for her mother, but also describes what it is like to see a parent gradually succumb to mental illness, describing her own struggle to understand what her mother is going through and why, and what it was like to lose that fight when her mother walked away from her life forever. As new, unread, first edition, first printing review copy with publisher's material laid in, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. [Not remainder-marked or price-clipped] NFBS1

We specialize in collectible, contemporary signed first editions. First edition means the first printing. (Later printings of the first edition are typically not printed on acid-free paper, and should be avoided by collectors.) Signatures are obtained by us in person. Inscribed books sold by us may contain a line, a phrase, or a sketch that the author has chosen to add. Our signed books are not dedicated to anybody in particular (not to your grandmother, your Aunt Gladys, your ex-lover or your former cellmate), except in the rare case of a presentation copy from an author to a noteworthy person. All our books are hardcover, unless the book is an Advance Reading Copy, Uncorrected Proof, or PBO. You can expect that the books we send you will be as described, and in a physical condition worthy of the author’s having signed them. We do not sell remainder-marked books, signed or otherwise
