Tells the story of Sheila, a high school student suffering from severe emotional disturbance, and her attempts to cope by venting her rage, cutting herself, and starving herself before getting the help she needs to begin to recover.
This book is about two youth with emotional disturbances. The reader follows them through their daily life. At the end of each chapter, there is a section of explanation of what is happening to Sheila and Trent, why it is happening and what can be done about it.
The book is geared toward adolescent audiences, but I really got a lot out of it. It is part of a special education series. I will be reading more from this series now that I have finished this one.
