Two more books

Angels on their backs by Margaret Buffie

Okay, the book is downstairs and i am too lazy to go and find out the page numbers.
The story deals with a girl who has moved from Toronto to Winnipeg. Nothing extraordinary there but where the story takes a turn is when the girl suffers from agoraphobia and panic attacks.
she becomes more and more afraid to go outside and deal with the outside world.
The panic attacks become almost paralyzing.
Like many parents, her separated mom realizes there is a problem but seems to ignore the facts.
There is also a ghost in this story and a background story to the ghost.
I think the one thing I liked about this story was it did not have all the girl's problems just magically go away. The book explained the recovery process and how the girl and her mother coped.

I did enjoy the background story about the house and the ghost.
