With an abusive prostitute as a mother and an alcoholic as a father, Tess decides she's finally had enough. She packs her bags and heads out the door, vowing to never come back. She believed she could run away from her troubles, but she soon finds out that running only makes it worse. She falls into the hands of drugs and self-harm and she feels she can't escape. Every time she thinks she's finally gotten away from it, it just comes back twice as strong. She seeks help, but will anybody really be able to help her? _____ Cover by @teenvlut Copyright © 2015-16 by Mystie Allee (@eveningblues)

Diana is falling apart at the seams. After she graduates high school, her parents kick her off their insurance and, no longer able to afford her medication for her bipolar disorder, turns to street drugs as a relief. Nobody in her life is in a rush to get her out of it. Then she overdoses. She ends up in a hospital, because she's terrified if she doesn't, she'll go to jail. While she's there, Diana meets a number of women who have all been abandoned to the system like her, and people she would normally hate become close, if temporary, friends. With their help, recovery doesn't seem so far away, after all.
