Seventeen-year-old Molly had just lost her mother Daisy and was left heartbroken. Since her parents\u2019 divorce ten years earlier, she had barely known her father, Danny, a truck driver. All she ever heard from her mom was that he was a drunkard and a bad influence. But after Daisy\u2019s funeral, Danny stepped back into Molly\u2019s life and took her home with him.<\/p>\n
