Crazy Kind of Beautiful is the story of Madison, a tough, resilient fifteen-year-old who is taking care of her six siblings while her father battles terminal cancer. Though Madi and her siblings are supposed to have a caretaker in the eventuality of their father's death-the son of an old war buddy of Madi's father-it turns out that the caretaker in question, Bobby, is battling his own demons with PTSD and is succumbing to addictions in order to cope. And with Madi's mother having left the family five years prior to the story beginning, she finds herself in a dire predicament as her father's health worsens by the day. An unexpected confession from her father rocks Madi's world, but might just be the solution to her troubles. Madi sets out to right her father's wrong and find her remaining relatives. What follows is the journey of three strangers who become an instant family, navigating together the aftermath of the secrets of their parents and the sometimes-complicated realities of taking care of the remaining family they have-whatever that entails.
