Claire’s life turns upside down when her mom is in a car accident. Although Mom’s body heals in time, 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.

In this much-needed resource for families coping with addiction, the story aims to answer questions children may have about substance use disorders and help them manage. Includes an extensive Note to Parents and Caregivers with child-friendly language to help start difficult conversations.
