Claire's life turns upside down when her mom is in a car accident.

Although Mom's body gradually heals, she doesn't seem like herself. Sometimes she doesn't go to work, and Claire has to take care of her younger brother, Emmett, more and more. When things take a turn for the worse, Mom tells the kids what's going on: She's become addicted to pain medication.

Told through a child's perspective and featuring families with diverse experiences, this much-needed resource aims to answer questions children may have about coping with addiction in their family. The story reassures readers that they are not to blame for what's happened, nor are they responsible for a parent's recovery.

Includes an extensive note to caregivers and educators with more information about substance misuse, child-friendly language, and sample dialogues to help start difficult conversations with young children.
