Welcome to Litsy!

It's October 1964, and young Cee regrets coming home from school. She could have spent the afternoon with her best friend, Mo, who has perfect parents and no siblings. Instead, she walks in on an argument about her father's drinking. It is becoming more of a problem for the family, and Cee dreads his mood swings and anger. As the days go by, Cee and her sisters begin realizing the true extent of their father's alcoholism and its devastating effect on their family. Lisa Gaff's nuanced novel draws from her own experiences to show a family in trouble but not without hope.
