Seventeen-year-old Stevie is trapped in her life, and now in an eating-disorder treatment center on the dusty outskirts of the New Mexico desert.

Life in the center is regimented and intrusive, a nightmare come true. Nurses and therapists watch Stevie at mealtime, accompany her to the bathroom, and challenge her to eat the foods she s worked so hard to avoid.

Her dad has signed her up for sixty days of treatment. But what no one knows is that Stevie doesn t plan to stay that long. There are only twenty-seven days until the anniversary of her brother Josh s death the death she caused. And if Stevie gets her way, there are only twenty-seven days until she, too, will end her life."
