Seventeen-year-old Katie didn't know she had a grandmother until the hospital called, asking her mum to pick up Mary, who's suffering from dementia. As Katie helps care for Mary, she uncovers a web of family secrets and struggles with her own: Katie is pretty certain she's gay. A limited third-person perspective follows Katie's and Mary's stories, constructing and contrasting two fully rounded characters.
