BISAC: Juvenile Fiction / Social Issues / Drugs, Alcohol, & Substance Abuse
As feisty Jessica moves to yet another middle school, she
struggles to stay out of trouble, while living in constant fear that others
will find out her family's dark secrets: Jess's mom is an alcoholic, her dad
left them years ago, and most days Jess struggles just to find food to
eat.
Convinced that she is the reason her mother drinks, especially
since Jess constantly gets into trouble at school, she lives with the daily
pain of her mom's explosive behavior, and the accompanying shame.
Befriended by sassy, red-headed Anna and cheerful, encouraging
Grace, Jess balances the joy of friendship with the hurt she carries with
her.
Will self-proclaimed Jess the Mess open her heart and life to her
new friends? What happens when her secrets are revealed? Jess learns that
everyone can change, but some change comes with a price.
