Children of Alcoholics

This book is a wonderful resource for children of alcoholics or treatment professionals working with children of alcohohilcs. It is a deeply moving collection of letters, poems and facts.

Insightful, Accurate, Helpful

I wish I'd had this book while I was growing up! I recommend it to young people as well as to their teachers and others who work with youngsters and need a better understanding of what children of alcoholic parents are going through. The poem on the dedication page is especially insightful. The author obviously has a thorough knowledge and understanding of this subject. Don't miss the eye-opening quiz at the beginning of the book! Sincerely, Deanna Hessedal Tiddle (author of "Hold On, Jessica, Don't Let Go," a novel about a child struggling to survive life in an alcoholic home)
