Managed to stumble upon this book at the age of 14... Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. Someone described me... And my family so closely... It was terrifying.... And freeing at the same time.

This was a book that explained behaviors I didn't know that we're a direct result of being an adult child of an Alcoholic Parent.
