![]() ![]() But he's downright scary when he's drinking and starts acting ""like an angry giant."" After a painful summer, Mommy convenes friends and family (the narrator included) and they hold an intervention, successfully convincing Daddy to seek treatment. ![]() As long as Daddy doesn't sneak into the garage to drink whiskey, he's good company-the narrator recalls rocking on the porch swing, gardening together and going on family outings to the park. ![]() Where Langsen and Rubel offer a comprehensive discussion and take a bracingly candid approach, Resh and Sewall (previously paired for Saying Goodbye to Grandma), focus more narrowly and more softly, describing one family's struggles from a young daughter's point of view. Although you wouldn't know it from either the title or the cover illustration, this book-like Richard Langsen's and Nicole Rubel's When Someone in the Family Drinks Too Much (Children's Forecasts, June 17)-tackles the subject of a parent's alcoholism and its impact on children. ![]()
