YA/NA FANATICS discussion

Here is where you will check back every day for a new question. This hunt will have 14 questions, 7 will be covers with flowers on them, and 7 will be blue covers. You will have 24 hours from the time I post the question to send me the answer in a private message. DO NOT POST ANSWERS HERE. Doing so can disqualify you. Please do not participate if you did not previously sign up. If there is a tie, we will have some sort of tie-breaker decided on by the moderators. Let the game begin!

THE FIRST 7 QUESTIONS ARE THEMED FLOWER POWER
(sometimes the names are just not that creative)

Question #1 worth 1 point
I’ve always been left out of close circles of friends or activities because people are afraid of what my father will think of them. My mother’s alcohol addiction causes her to leave home for rehab and then a local girl goes missing. This is all made worse by the fact that my dad is a workaholic that cares more about his job than the fact that I’m slipping into depression. Name of the girl missing. What is my fathers occupation?

Is the book first or middle of the series?
