Why did you leave me?

Ever since Laura’s mother walked out – drunk – Laura has somehow managed the housekeeping, her studying, and playing mother to her little brother. She hardly has time to spend with Don, the only important boy she ever dated. And Don resents it. But he doesn’t understand that it’s up to Laura to keep her father together. Then Laura’s father announces that her mother has decided to return. Suddenly Laura feels so confused! Why did her mother leave. What will happen when she finds Laura in charge? And what if her mother starts drinking again? Laura is miserable and she can’t turn to anyone – even Don.
