AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This story centers on Caitlin who, after blowing her academic scholarship and freaking out her family, is sent to Bayview, a psychiatric hospital for adolescents. Here she meets the beautiful Anna, who everyone loves. But, as Caitlin is soon to discover, Anna has a secret that will soon change everything. Uncompromisingly acute in its depiction of the painful passage from adolescence to adulthood, Skating the Edge is a gripping read that will resonate with the reader long after the book is closed.'
