A novel of hope for young people
|

|
It's so hard living
with an alcoholic parent. The embarrassment. The anger. The fear. And worst of all is the emptiness in her heart where a father's love should be. How can she keep hearing his cruel
words? What will the other kids think if they see her father drunk? How can she protect her three-year-old brother?
Will she ever be able to escape? How? Is she doomed to have the kind of life her mother has? Jessica becomes more and more
discouraged.
But, as she turns 12 and then 13, she begins to figure out which things she can't do and which she can. She makes important
discoveries. And she makes plans.
