I just got a book by Catherine Ryan Hyde called THE YEAR OF MY MIRACULOUS
REAPPEARANCE which is about a girl with an alcoholic mother and a Down Syndrome
younger brother. Cynnie ends up getting drunk and driving / has an accident that
is pivotal in her life. She is ordered by the court to go to A.A. and the book
follows her recovery and journey into sobriety.
It would be a good addition to a HS library.
