Book Description
Kelsie Sullivan’s life has changed forever. The once outgoing cheerleader has a secret to hide. The car accident that killed her best friend Jenna? She caused it.
With an absent father and unforgiving stepmother, Kelsie has nowhere to turn. She manages her guilt and grief with razor blades. The fleeting release she experiences becomes an obsession and soon she's unable to hide it any longer. Once her cutting is revealed, Kelsie’s parents enroll her in a Wilderness Therapy program designed to rehabilitate troubled teens, but North Carolina is a world away from California.
Kelsie fights against everything the program has to offer until she befriends JC, a boy with a tortured past of his own. He’s also the only one who is able to ease her pain. The two grow close, but quickly discover that nature—both human and otherwise—can easily rip them apart.

I was so hooked on this story that I lost sleep in order to finish it. Such pain, and heartache for a teenage girl to over come.
The main character's name is Mal (Kelsie) who is 16 turns 17 during the course of the book, and she has become a cutter after her forever best friend died in a car accident she feels responsible for. She has a Father that works a lot who is rarely at home which leaves her with Step-Mother (Sheila) who only cares about money, and how she appears to society. Instead of really trying to be the love and support Mal needs Sheila verbally tears her down, and sends her off to a month long Wilderness Therapy for troubled where you meet JC, Mia, Neeky, Bling, and Councilors Chris, and Jason; However, everyone gets more then they bargained for on this trip. When Mal gets back she feels very alone, confused, depressed, and feels like the only one that even remotely cares for her is her Nanny Marta, who she finally begins to open up to. That's when you really start to see how deeply Mal is hurting and crying out for help but just doesn't know how to do it.
Needless to say without giving to much away this book is FULL of ups, downs, twists, and turns that will keep you wanting to read just one more chapter, or in the case of this book find out about just one more day. I would HIGHLY recommend this book to any parent, or young person that is going through tough times. You don't have to be a cutter in order to learn something from Mal's journey.
