Ellaria "Ella" Decker is 16 and suicidal. Her mother abuses her and lets the men she brings home rape her for drug money, then forces her to go to school, where she is constantly picked on and bullied. She has been self harming for 4 years, since her father left her with her mom (which her mom blames her for). She has also been anorexic for 3 years, and starves herself. When she plans to kill herself, will the new kid, her lab partner, be able to stop her?
