--Richard Posner's "Sweet Pain" is about an abusive boyfriend and is very popular with the girls. "Up in Seth's Room" is about a boyfriend who pressures the girl to have sex. Julie Deaver's "Chicago Blues" and Liza Fosburgh's "Cruise Control" are about teens dealing with parental alcoholism. Sandra Scoppetone's "The Late Great Me" and Anne Snyder's "My Name is Davy, I'm an Alcoholic" are about teen alcoholics. And Cynthia Grant's "The White Horse" is a more recent one (1998) about a teen dealing with a druggie mom. Hope these help.
