In March 2006, a girl attempts suicide. But her efforts seem to weaken, as each attempt on her life only results in a psychologically revealing dream, also transporting her to the same exact moment she attempts to take her life. She continues these attempts, having heard her entire life that she holds no value to the world she lives in, merely because she isn't smart or skinny. Will she be successful in achieving her goal of going from one sleep into an even longer one? Or will she attempt to find the value in the life she has? 

This novel was written by me as what I hope to be a bit of hope for those who are considering suicide, love to read books for teens, or aren't as perfect as you hope to be. Feel free to comment, as I love feedback and words of encouragement! (PS I'm sorry for how slow I write!)
