Description
In the follow-up to Cyndy Etler’s chilling memoir, The Dead Inside, Etler details her turbulent readjustment to life at home and high school after spending sixteen months in Straight, Inc. Advertised as a rehab program for troubled teens, in reality, Straight subjected Cyndy and her fellow Straightlings to cultlike brainwashing and bizarre “treatment” methods. There was no privacy, no freedom, and no room for error. But when Cyndy is finally released, she discovers she’s living by an entirely different set of rules than her peers. What new extremes will she go to in order to fit in?
Advance Praise
Praise for The Dead Inside:
“Compelling. Scary. Totally real.”—Ellen Hopkins, New York Times Bestselling Author of Crank
“Etler’s story is both inspiring and completely shocking; this is a memoir unlike anything else on the shelves today.”—GERM magazine
“Etler channels her younger self's voice with pitch-perfect verisimilitude as Cyndy goes from wide-eyed disbelief to acquiescence, having finally found a place where she feels like she belongs… Raw and absorbing, Etler's voice captivates.”—Kirkus
“Etler weaves her story with conviction, self-deprecating humor, and hard facts… Readers will come to respect the fighter that Etler is and the advocate she became for other teens in similar situations.”—Booklist
