Plot Summary of Keeper of the Night
"Isabel likes to believe that her mother died peacefully, but she must come to grips with the fact that her mother killed herself. And ever since then her younger brother and sister have been doing strange things. Her brother has been carving words on his wall, and begins cutting himself, and Isabel's little sister has been wetting the bed, and Tata (her father) has been distant, avoiding spending time with the children. It takes Frankie going to a psychiatric ward for this family to come to grips with the reality of the way things really were."
