It was bad, really bad and the longer it went on the more I wanted to beg her to stop, please stop, because my Gran would never scare me like this, would never leave me standing here in shock, lost, shaking and near tears without opening her arms and holding me safe. This gaunt, twisted old lady with the messy hair and stone face, this silent woman hunched over in the wheelchair was a stranger, someone I didn't know, could never know...

That teaser sounds both scary and slightly depressing as well. I'm adding this book to my TBR list.

Hi Debbie,
Your teaser lines are so poignant and emotional, and unfortunately are feelings that I can relate to oh! so well.
My mother has been left more or less as described in your excerpt for many years, as a result of Multiple Sclerosis and my two nieces have much the same thoughts about their grandmother, as does the person in your story.
I can appreciate the fear and trepidation they both feel when visiting with her, although it is inherently sad to see.
Thanks for sharing such moving words.
Yvonne
