Chandler, Tania,
All that I remember about Dean Cola / Tania Chandler. - Carlton North, VIC : Scribe Publications, 2021. - 292 pages ; 24 cm.
The boys from back home stand beside the bed, watching her bleed onto the white sheet. 'He only said to scare her,' one of them says. Sidney is happily married to her firefighter husband and thinking about having a child, but her life has been marred by psychotic breakdowns. Haunted by memories of Dean Cola - the teenage crush who is an essential piece of the puzzle that is her past - she returns to the town where she grew up. Something unthinkable happened there, but is she strong enough to face it? A compelling portrait of mental illness, memory, and the ways that the years when we 'come of age' can be twisted into trauma.
