Annie Katz writes in reality. She seems to have a command on what it is like growing up with an alcoholic single parent. Living with her mother requires Cassandra to change roles where she is put in the position of parenting her mother as is common in dysfunctional families. Lila helps Cassandra to realize her potential and encourages her to accept things as they are. Cassandra finds love and understanding through her grandma developing hope for the future. She learns she has a family and people who care for and love her unconditionally, something every child needs to grow up emotionally and mentally happy. I would recommend this book to anyone struggling to find acceptance, self-esteem and overcoming the devastation caused from addiction.
