    When her mother goes missing somewhere in Ireland, artist Myrid CARTEN returns from London to find her. Her search takes her into a feuding family, a contested house, and a history that threatens to take everyone down, including herself. Intimate, surprising, and often darkly funny conversations with her mother and other family members reveal the trials of loving someone who struggles with addiction and madness. A Want in Her is an immersive, first-person account of the cost of love, and how difficult it can be to escape.
