This novel is written for teens but is a great read for people of all ages. Author Margaret Buffie has written an honest novel about a family that is broken up because of alcoholism and fear. Her main characters Celia the alcoholic mother who does not seem to have a clue and her daughter Bernie are a joy to read.
