This book is an important one to show the family's side of things when it comes to addiction and the aftermath they have to deal with in the aftermath of the addict.
While Emmory, her siblings, and even her dad have growth, it bothered me how the mother's seems minimal. That there were no amends for her part in how/what she did to the family with her pressure and need for control.
 

I did love the lessons Emmory learned and her growth. The rawness of this book is so needed and I think would've helped me when I was younger, but so glad this book is out there now.
