The
problem with crazy is that crazy, by itself, has no context. It can be good
crazy, bad crazy . . . or crazy crazy—like it was when my ex-boyfriend sung
about me on the radio.
Eighteen-year-old Kate couldn’t be more excited about finishing high school and spending the summer on tour with her boyfriend’s band. Her dad showing up drunk at graduation, however, is not exactly kicking things off on the right foot—and that’s before she finds out about his mystery illness, certain to end in death.
A mystery illness she is likely to inherit.
When your whole life goes from adventure and ecstasy to sad and suicidal, what’s the point? Not knowing who to love, and who to trust . . . where does it end?
The Problem With Crazy is a story about love and life; about overcoming obstacles, choosing to trust, and learning how to make the choices that will change your life forever.

“And there is something else we need
to tell you, dear.”
“Deb, not now. Give ‘er a rest,” Dad
interjected, his voice sounding ever more weary with each passing word.
“What? Tell me,” I demanded, my
fingers clenching into little fists. “What could possibly be worse than what
you’ve already said?” Dave placed his arm protectively around my shoulders. I
wanted to shake it off.
“Maybe we should wait.” Mum eyed
Dave’s hand.
“Anything you have to say, you can
say in front of him.” I shook my head. “He’s family. You know that.” Dave and I
locked eyes, and he gave me a special little smile.
“Kate, it’s not a good time.” Mum’s
voice was shrill. My heart was beating like a jackhammer, thud-thud-thud, over
and over at double time.
“If you don’t tell me now, I’ll
Google it. I’ll just search the disease and see what I can find. We both will!”
Silence. Dave took my hand in his,
clasping his other hand around it so I was protected entirely within his palms.
Mum and Dad looked at each other, foreheads wrinkled and lips pursed.
“The disease your father has,” Mum
paused. I nodded at her. Go on.
Just
tell me. Get it over with.
“It’s hereditary.”
I struggled to breathe as Dave’s fingers
slowly unlaced themselves from mine.
