The Enumerations is a powerful and poignant exploration of the profound legacies of mental illness and trauma, and the children left to pick up the pieces of their parents' emotional lives. Noah Groome, a seventeen-year-old boy, counts to five to manage his raging anxiety, but his OCD is taking a toll on his entire family. His mother, Kate, is desperate for comfort as her home life falls apart, his father, Dominic, retreats emotionally as old demons rise to the surface, his protective little sister, Maddie, is forced to be the happy child, and Noah, a troubled teenager, is trying to protect his loved ones from himself. Following a violent incident at school, Noah is sent to rehab in Cape Town, where he meets Juliet, a rebellious girl with a sex addiction who is not afraid of the voice in Noah's head. As bonds are made and long-held secrets are revealed, Noah is not the only one who will find healing. The Enumerations is a must-read for anyone who has experienced mental illness or trauma, and for anyone who wants to understand the impact of these conditions on families.
