Hand Me Down, by Melanie Thorne, described as a "semi-autobiographical" novel. It is apparently selling well.
I read the sample on Amazon, and because I was in midst of this disaster (we took Melanie and her younger sister into our home for a while), it looks like it might be too painful for me to read. But I do think, if you read it, you will see why I have become the social conservative that I am: watching Melanie's parents damage everything and everyone around them was a sobering reminder that what consenting adults do often does enormous damage to kids, who have only very limited choices about how to deal with bad parents.
Conservative. Idaho. Software engineer. Historian. Trying to prevent Idiocracy from becoming a documentary.
