Breaking Free

Kelsie Sullivan's life has changed forever. The once outgoing cheerleader has a secret to hide. The car accident that killed her best friend Jenna? She caused it. With an absent father and unforgiving stepmother, Kelsie has nowhere to turn. She manages her guilt and grief with razor blades. The fleeting release she experiences becomes an obsession and soon she cannot hide it any longer. Once her cutting is revealed, Kelsie's parents enroll her in a Wilderness Therapy program designed to rehabilitate troubled teens, but North Carolina is a world away from California. Kelsie fights against everything the program has to offer until she befriends JC, a boy with a tortured past of his own. He's also the only one who is able to ease her pain. The two grow close, but quickly discover that nature-both human and otherwise-can easily rip them apart.
