On This Page
Description
As a single parent Martha was sure she was giving her two children the perfect life. When daughter Augusta turned 15 things started to happen; first the cigarette, then the blue pipe and the little bag Augusta says are aspirin. Martha can't seem to get through to Augusta, and Augusta it appears is intent of doing everything to hurt herself. Martha doesn't know if she's confronting teenage adolescence, craziness, her own failure as a parent, or all three.Tags

This book was a Mom's perspective on her adolescent daughter becoming a troubled teen, doing drugs, drinking, stealing, being promiscuous, etc, and how she had to deal with it and how it effected her family.
Truthfully, it is a sad story, but a little whiny and annoying and can make you want to put it down at times.
I suggest this book to anyone who is going through the same thing, because I bet there would be a lot of things that you could relate to. It makes more sense to those as well, and also I bet anyone who had the same situation who read this book would enjoy it more.
