The Lost Summer

Wishing Star #1

by Joan L. Oppenheimer

For Susie, one drink makes the summer wonderful fun. Two makes her forget her mother’s new husband. And three? She forgets all the things a nice girl should remember! Then the fun ends and the agony begins. Susie just survives from drink to drink. A bottle hidden in the bathroom; a thermos taken to work; and Buck only too willing to keep her well supplied. When life becomes unbearable, Susie desperately reaches out for help. But is it too late?
