Description

“I am the unhinged…and the world is my asylum”.

Thirteen-year old Harper is in therapy for the death of her mother. And that’s saying nothing of the trafficking victim she rescued from her next door neighbor’s cellar.

As her father becomes embroiled in a criminal case that threatens to destroy their lives, the despondent teenager is left to confide in her detached and aloof therapist Charlotte. If the woman who she began seeing to cope with Nancy’s suicide can’t help her through these harrowing events, Harper’s shattered family stands to be permanently damaged.

Will the mysterious woman that Harper saved from slavery be the key to healing the devastated Whitaker family? Or will their involvement destroy everything they have left?

Magical realism meets coming-of age drama in this epic origin story.

    I was surprised first that this book was YA, and then again at how dark, depressing and “down” it turned out to be. The characters are not very sympathetic or endearing, yet the story was compelling enough to carry my attention throughout. It’s a different, dark YA with mature themes that will grab you and hold on until the end.
