Synopsis of Musical Chairs
Musical Chairs explores one family's history of mental health diagnoses and searches to define the cusp between a '90s working-class childhood and the trouble of adapting to a comfortable life in the suburbs. In order to understand her restlessness, Jennifer reflects on years of strip-dancing, alcoholism, and estrangement. Inspired by the least likely source, the family she left behind, Jennifer struggles towards reconciliation. This story is about identity, class, family ties, and the elusive nature of mental illness.

Very honest stuff, and gripping, considering the story is both loaded with authentic details and true. I have to assume the market for this book is huge, given the prevalence of mental illness, and in specific, of panic attacks.
And no, I didn't have trouble with the white on black.
