Enough to feel the scream inside.Now she's at Sea Pines, a "residential treatment facility" filled with girls struggling with problems of their own.

But Callie can only stay silent for so long...

You're probably thinking "out of all the people that Callie has met, you choose the Dunkin' Donut waitress?" Of course, because this one stranger helps Callie realize that she needs to get better. Whereas people such as her doctors and therapists, have not once convinced Callie that

Surprised to find 15 years later that this book was actually worthy of the comparison to Speak. Me performing parts of it as a dramatic interpretation for speech and debate remains a poor decision.
I read that the author researched for 3 years before writing this book. Now is that violating GR's terms since I mentioned the author?
