Jars of Glass by Brad Barkley and Heather Hepler is a story of Shana and Chloe, two teenage sisters who struggle to find ways to cope with their family problems. From a mother who is hospitalized, a father who drinks and smokes to help him detach from feeling alive, and an adopted brother who is emotionally scarred and speaks a small amount of English. These girls decide that if you don't enjoy the family you have then you should go out and make another one.
