Grace Holloway

She never left the house-but she vanished all the same. In this poignant and intimate true story, Grace Holloway unravels the quiet devastation of growing up with a mother consumed by schizophrenia. From the outside, their life looked ordinary. But behind closed doors, the house pulsed with silence, suspicion, and a love strained by delusion. As her mother disappeared into paranoia and shadows, Grace learned to become invisible-to listen for danger, to decipher moods like a second language, and to survive.
And yet, through it all, she clung to love. Because even as her mother vanished in plain sight, Grace remained-witness, daughter, caretaker, survivor. Vanished in Plain Sight is a haunting and hopeful memoir of mental illness, generational silence, and the enduring power of love.
