It's been only a year since Utah became the last state to pass legislation granting age-of-majority sufferers of mental illness the Right to Die. When seventeen-year-old Koralee Benson wakes up in the hospital having survived a suicide attempt, her parents are desperate to get her help before her next birthday, when she will have the legal right to request a lethal dose of Repose7, a medication that has revolutionized the practice of assisted suicide. Dr. Crimm is the lead psychiatrist with Right to Life, an organization that promotes mental health treatment and support, and funds research into alternative treatments for mental illness and suicidal ideation. Right to Life was founded by the Wilkinson family, owners of tech giant Virtual Now, as a response to the loss of their own son to suicide. Their unconventional program combines the use of an experimental medication with a virtual reality technology that allows study participants to relive their traumatic experiences through the eyes of other people. Koralee is recruited to join five other teens from around the country, all grappling with their own demons, in an adventurous exploration of perspective, friendship, trust, and healing-possibly the only hope these suffering teens have at regaining the will to live. The country is engrossed in a recent news frenzy when seventeen-year-old Braden Ertz is found guilty of the murder of his fifteen-year-old girlfriend. He was discovered unconscious in her family pool with no recollection of the crime or his involvement in it. The country is already divided on his death sentence when Braden requests to stop his automatic appeals and be given the chance to take Repose7. When the judge overseeing his case hears about the experimental medication that could help regain his memories, he pulls R2L and Dr. Crimm into a battle of morals and ethics.

THANK YOU, Wattpad, for the HQ Love Watty Award! Concept: A mysterious young woman flees from her troubled past only to discover it is impossible to escape THE SECRET that haunts her. *PLEASE NOTE: This story was originally inspired by the movie "Sleeping With the Enemy". * * * * * "I would never, Steven," she promised, turning away from him in an attempt to protect herself. "I know you wouldn't," he screamed. Cupping her chin in his hand, he forced her to look at him. "Because I would kill you." His words hung heavy in the air. Sarah's heart sank into her stomach. No matter how many times she'd heard the menacing phrase, she could never get used to it. It had the same affect on her as the first time he'd thrown the ugly words in her face. The familiar sting of bile rose in her throat, and she knew she would deplete the contents of her stomach once she was locked in the safety of their master bath. 'If I make it through this time,' she agonized. Her biggest fear was that one day he would really lose his temper with her. Who knew what would happen then? *This story is an unedited first draft.
