But Jesse is the least of Indigoโs concerns. When she discovers her mom is an alcoholic, it simultaneously explains everything and heaps more worry on Indigoโs shoulders. As her momโs behavior becomes increasingly erratic, Indigo fights to maintain balance, protect her younger brothers from abuse, and keep her mother from going over the edge. When the violence at home escalates, Indigo realizes she can no longer dance around the issue. At the risk of losing everything, she must take matters into her own hands before itโs too late.
