About Racing into the Dark:
Sisters Beth and Ellen have always been very close
Ellen—the youngest of three daughters—is the emotional one, always seeking attention and, at times, acting “funny” to get it. The rest of the family dismisses Ellen’s behavior as “overdramatizing.”
But as Ellen matures, the boundaries between her fantasy life and reality blur until, when she becomes a mother, her family is forced to act. Despite her responsibilities to her own growing family, Beth repeatedly tries to save her sister, risking her own stable life until she is in danger or losing it all.
Finally, filled with guilt and anguish over how Ellen’s actions are affecting the rest of the family, Beth must decide how much she can sacrifice to save the sister she loves.
