Have you ever wondered what goes on behind closed doors when a 'difficult' teen gets sent away? Based on real-life events from the 1990s, this book tells the harrowing story of Vanessa, who at age thirteen, was one of those kids. She was ripped away from everything she knew and sent away to an abusive military boarding school for girls run by a religious cult that promised to fix these so-called 'troubled teens'.Like most Troubled Teen Industry survivors, Vanessa and her surrogate four-year-old little sister, Jess, experienced unspeakable horrors no human should ever have to endure. But unlike most, they were able to do things no one else could. Along her way, Vanessa found family. Find out what it took for them to survive their time in this cult, their successes and failures and how they finally escaped. This powerful and heart-wrenching book is a must read for anyone who has ever been or known a 'difficult' teen, anyone who attended a Troubled Teen program, and especially for any parent that has sent away a difficult child or is thinking that sending their child away is the best or only option.
