How far would you go to escape your own personal
teenage hell? Would you run away, break away from
everything you know—even your own body?
Alex
Robbins, Brooke Saunders and Maryanne Hemlock could not be
more different, yet they all have something in
common—deep and soul–searing pain. They are
also all students at Streep Academy, a boarding school
just one step away from juvie, where they've come to
complete high school. In the forbidden attic of the old
Victorian house–turned–residence, the girls
discover the diary of Connie Harvell, a young woman who
was confined and abused there some 50 years ago. In the
end, Connie's attic prison couldn't hold her—not
completely. She found a way out. At least a dark part of
her did. And after reading her diary, the girls discover
they can escape at will too. A terrifying, thrilling
flight from their bodies and their troubles.
But
God help them, their pain isn't all they leave behind when
they join with the night.
