Until the day he pawns his mother's diamond ring because he desperately needs money again. Can Roland save himself from this situation on his own? Is it enough for his parents to try a fresh start with him? This book explores the theme of youth alcoholism and is an important read not only for young people but also for their parents. Addresses are included in the appendix.
