Where the Watermelons Grow by Cindy BaldwinMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This story touched my heart. It is told from the perspective of a young girl whose mother has schizophrenia. Della is sure that if she can just be a better daughter, she can make her mother’s illness go away. This book is full of love: Family love, and community love. Many of the women in their little southern town love Della and help her through this difficult time. I especially recommend this book to anyone dealing with mental illness in their family. It is beautiful.
