Everything is Fine.

A parent would reach for this book when they suspect their teenager is masking a profound crisis at home, particularly regarding a parent's mental health or abandonment. It is an essential resource for adolescents who have taken on the role of 'the stable one' while their domestic life is quietly unraveling into neglect or isolation. Mazzy is a high schooler desperately trying to maintain the illusion that 'everything is fine' even as her mother sinks into a catatonic depression and her father remains absent. The story explores the heavy intersection of shame, loyalty, and the crushing weight of kept secrets. While the subject matter is intense, it offers a vital mirror for teens facing similar invisible burdens, validating their struggle while gently pointing toward the necessity of asking for help.
