Casey is 12, and her mum gets sick a lot. She sometimes stays at a foster parent's place, with her younger brother, when her mum is ill. At that hospital, there are people who will help Casey's mum get better but she worries, because it's not the first time. One night she has a dream, and when she wakes up, something feels a little different. It feels like things might just be okay...

A commissioned book, to assist Australian children aged 8 - 12 with parental dual diagnosis (mental illness/substance abuse), transition towards understanding and acceptance.
