Hold on, Jessica, Don't Let Go

Can eleven-year-old Jessica run away from her life? It's so hard living with an alcoholic parent. The fear. The anger. The embarrassment. The emptiness in her heart where a father's love should be. She becomes more and more discouraged, but as she turns 12 and then 13, she figures out which things she can't do and which she can. She makes discoveries and she makes plans.
