Facing Life

Austen was misdiagnosed with schizophrenia. She was sent to a care facility for three and a half months before anybody realized it was a mistake. By then, her entire school already knew about it. Actually, they knew about it within a day. I mean, this is high school we're talking about. Going back to school is going to be hell for her. Being a freshman was just going to make everything worse. Austen had lost all her friends and had only seen her mom four times since she'd been admitted to the facility. She had a sister and three brothers, too. She only saw them one time in the past three and a half months, on her birthday. To Austen, staying in a are facility for the rest of her life was more appealing then going home and facing what she left behind.

When Austen gets home, everybody's life changes. At school, she's not the only one people are talking about. It's her entire family. Having five kids within five years wasn't such a great idea, was it?
