My current read is Leaving The Hall Light On by Madeline Sharples.  A memoir of a parent’s journey through her son’s mental illness, sucicide and recovery.

Paul’s sucicid was not a cry for help. He chose a time when Madeline and I would be reliably asleep. He quietly entered his bathroom and locked the door behind him.  (page 122)

  The box had been sealed with clear packing tape. She’d noted that the label was printed with her name and address, but not in the sender’s information. That was curious, but she didn’t think too much of it as she split the tape, folded back the flaps, and lifted out the gift-wrappd box inside.
  She never could have prepared herself for the hideous surprise it contained.

This is more than a couple of sentences but wanted to share what grabbed me from the Prologue:

For this October, certain threads would fray and certain binds would loosen. Unspoken words woud be uttered at last while things that needed to be said would be withheld. Tradition would be honored and the past would be rejected. One heart would beat for another’s for the first time, while one heart would stop beating forever. And a message would be delivered that was essential to all who heard it.

Jake looked away from the window and his eyes fell on the tray of his fax machine.  Another random junk fax.  Someone had his number.  He took one step on the plush beige carpet, reached down, and picked up the piece of paper that would forever change his life.  Pandora’s Box on an eight-by-eleven inch sheet of paper.

As I searched for something to say, I worried that if I waited much longer you’d begin slamming your face with your own palms, martyring yourself on your bed, not just to punish me but to punish the world for making you be alive in it.
