I bought this book after an 8th grader borrowed if from another school and absolutely loved it. (This was an 8th grader who didn't really "like to read" so I was thrilled she found something that spoke to her) Callie is in a residential treatment home called Sea Pines. The other girls in her ward call it Sick Minds. All the girls are their for treatment for things like anorexia, bulimia, or drug abuse. Callie is a cutter. She self harms as a way to deal with overwhelming emotions. This is Callie's journey of self discovery. This book is only 157 pages but it is a powerful story of a girl who finds her voice.
