Buried

by Robin Merrow MacCready
Carver County Library hardcover
genre: YA realistic fiction

From Amazon: "Claudine Carbonneau, a high-school senior in Deep Cove, ME, wakes up to find her alcoholic mother gone, leaving the teen to clean up their trashed home and to explain her mother's absence."

This book really gripped me. As Claudine's behavior becomes more & more obsessively OCD and more clues come to light about her mother's disappearance, I just wanted to hug her and get her some help. The story (to me) is more about OCD than alcoholism. Her mother's choices really impacted this girl. Powerful.
