When she was a mere twelve years old, Elaine Hendrix was diagnosed with severe depression. She's been living a lie for the past five years, making her overprotective father and younger sister believe that she was okay. In reality, she wasn't. Her life in Minneapolis, Minnesota drove her insane, and increased her depression so much, that one day, she snapped. Suicidal thoughts were overtaking her mind, and she broke the one promise she made to Dr. Mitchell--that she would never, under any circumstances, harm herself in anyway. Now, her father and doctor have sent her to the Autumn Oasis Village, a rehab center in a small suburb forty-five minutes away from the life that she is adjusted to, her friends, and her precious blades. She cries when the urge to cut becomes to strong, and the doctors' solutions? Sedate Elaine when she begins to have an episode. At the Village, she feels more alone than ever, until Colby Marx stumbles into her life and changes her forever.
