About
Even though these poems were written when Ms. Macklin was fift years old, they express the little girl in her, the child who suffered the pain and despair of growing up with alcoholic parents. She accompanies her poetry with her thoughts on addiction and with a brief but inspiring account of her recovery. Complementing and reinforcing the poems is a section displaying the handiwork of sixth-graders who responded to Ms. Macklin's poems wit crayon drawings and short essays describing the effects of alcohol and drugs in their own families.
