Review of The Deep End of the Ocean (1999) by Almira C — 07 Aug 2009
For a parent, losing a child is the unthinkable. Nothing can assuage the guilt or the void.
The only way a parent can cope is to survive day-by-day and use distractions to keep the buried memories from welling up and drowning him or her.
It is bad enough when a child is killed, but what if the child disappears, is kidnapped, stolen? The uncertainty, the not knowing if that child is alive or dead, can be so overwhelming that a parent can cease to function as a parent and merely exist. Like the child, the parent disappears, but it is into the self.
"The Deep End of the Ocean" is intelligent, adult drama.
