In the book Rules of the Road by Joan Bauer, the protagonist is Jenna Boller. Jenna works as a shoe seller. She is very good at her job and cares about her costumers. Her dad is an alcoholic and her grandmother has Alzheimers. Her dad offers her a vacation to Texas. She accepted this offer and now she is having a hard time with her dad since he is an alcoholic. Alcoholism of his father really affects Jenna's life.
An example is when her dad was drunk and went to her job. Jenna was doing her job like always. It isn't only her job, but also her interest, then her dad, drunk, went to her work place, broke the door. That same moment was when the owner of the shoe store came for a surprise visit. The owner was mad at her and Jenna almost lost her job/interest.
Another example is that Jenna doesn't have a great relationship with her dad as a father. She isn't comfortable with her dad because he is an alcoholic. She is more comfortable around her mom because her mom was always there for her. A lot of kids out there have parents that are alcoholic and are scared of them. This is Jenna.
Alcoholism in her dad affects her life a lot. She almost lost her job, but most importantly, her interest. Alcoholism in her dad affected her relationship with her dad too. There are a lot of people out there in the world that are facing the same problems as Jenna.
