Description: The only daughter of alcoholic parents, Pip Granger spent much of her childhood on the margins of society. Drink was the factor behind the series of crises, the furious rows and life-threatening accidents Pip had to contend with. It also explained why her home life was so very different from that of most other people she knew. Bullied at school, neglected by her parents and cared for, at times, by complete strangers, Pip realized that she would have to cut loose from her family and have the courage to build her own life - alone.
