From the award-winning author of The Running Dream and Flipped comes a remarkable portrait of a girl who has hit rock bottom but begins aclimb back to herself at a wilderness survival camp.
3:47 a.m. That’s when they come for Wren Clemmens. She’s hustled out of herhouse and into a waiting car, then a plane, and then taken on a forced marchinto the desert. This is what happens to kids who’ve gone so far off therails, their parents don’t know what to do with them anymore. This iswilderness therapy camp. Eight weeks of survivalist camping in the weeks to turn your life around. Yeah, right.
The Wren who arrives in the Utah desert is angry and bitter, and blamingeveryone but herself. But angry can’t put up a tent. And bitter won’t start afire. Wren’s going to have to admit she needs help if she’s going to survive.
