The Glass Girl

Fifteen-year-old Bella leans on alcohol to blunt the pressures crowding in on her — her parents' fracturing marriage, the responsibility of helping raise her younger sister, and the raw grief of losing her beloved grandmother. After she blacks out at a Thanksgiving party and lands in the hospital with alcohol poisoning, her mother sends her to a wilderness rehab program, where recovery proves to be anything but a clean break. Kathleen Glasgow charts an unflinching course through addiction, relapse, and the slow, uncertain work of putting a life back together.
