Summary"While other adolescent girls are listening to grunge rock or swooning over boy bands, Loretta knows little of life beyond the Home for Wayward Girls, the secluded ranch where her parents run a program designed to "correct" teen girls' "bad behavior." Loretta witnesses firsthand how the adults use abusive discipline to crush these young women's spirits and break their wills. Since childhood she's been afraid of her father, and avoids him by spending time with the residents, secretly teaching them the survival skills they'll need in case they manage to escape. Until the day a horrifying act of violence forces her to make her own terrible choice"-- Provided by publisher.
