Omschrijving
The main character, Celia, exhibited aberrant behavior from an early age, killing a baby chick before she was two because it wouldn't be quiet and, later, her baby sister for the same reason. In both case, she displayed an eerily innocent lack of understanding.Jealous and resentful, she felt disconnected, and showed no emotion when an older brother died. Her family noticed that something wasn't quit right but they accepted, excused, and tolerated the behavior. She got no help.Because she wasn't stopped, she abused a number of family members, husband, mother, siblings, and children, ruling with fear.Her descent spiraled, unchecked, into the darkness of bi-polar, paranoid, schizophrenic, psychotic behavior, coupled the bouts of extreme depression.
