There's No Place Like Home

Penelope Frost is depressed. I don't mean the staring off into the sunset with tears ruining your mascara and occasionally crying while you're trying to sleep kind of stuff they try to shove down your throat in the movies. I mean the real shit. She can go days without sleeping, eating, talking, or bathing. All because she is too drained to even close her eyes for the night. Her parents are gone to work too often to notice, she has no friends. She has her trusty dog, Ruth. But, when she tries to commit suicide, people start asking questions and making decisions. She is forced to leave her cozy bed to go live in Green Meadows Hospital for The Troubled. While in the hospital, she is forced to talk about that unforgiving nightmare of a night. She is forced to get up and do something about her issues. She is forced to live for the first time in two years.
