Overview

One Drunk in the Family is Enough: The Adventures of Lily Sutton Book Two is the second book in The Adventures of Lily Sutton Series. This story is set in a small town where everyone knows everyone. It becomes evident in the story that everyone knows everyone when the lessons that parents learned the hard way are passed down to the children as lessons not to be repeated. With a gentle hand, the author touches on the lingering effects that alcoholism can have on a family from the oldest member to the youngest. Pain cuts deep and sometimes without even realizing it, pain can be passed down to generations even when one's intentions all along were to protect.

It is evident that "Doing the Right Thing" reigns in terms of what is acceptable from young people and what simply is not.
