L.E.A.P.
Turning fourteen, Linn Gurke suffers from the adolescent ABCs: Acne, Boobs, and Crushes. Her alcoholic mother and codependent father don't provide help or support.

But when an unbalanced aunt arrives, Linn and her snarky older brother, Brendan, learn that their thirty-nine-year-old mother is pregnant. The family spirals downward as Linn's priorities change from growing up to survival for herself and her siblings. Linn must find a way to conquer the family demons.
