Book Review - Black Box by Julie Schumacher

Elena has always saved her older sister Dora from everything, including herself. She is the one that takes care of her older sister, so she is a little confused and sad when Dora is diagnosed with depression and is committed to a group home. Elena doesn’t know how to save her this time. When Dora does come home, Elena wants to make sure that she is ok and does not slide down into the black box of depression.

This was a great story of a family dealing with depression and how it affects everyone. Elena is left to fend for herself once Dora is diagnosed and she doesn’t know how to deal with it. Find out if she can save Dora or if Dora goes too far. Excellent read!
