Summary
Complicated Lives focuses on the lives of sixty-five drug-using girls in the juvenile justice system who grew up in families characterized by parental drug use, violence, and child maltreatment. Vera Lopez's work examines how these relationships with their parents contribute to the girls' future drug use and involvement in the justice system.
