Publisher's Synopsis

It's the exhausted drop off the end of the rope after a long,
hard-fought, herculean effort to continue hanging on."

FROM THE AUTHOR: Sharing my story is hard, but it is important. I do it so other teens in pain know there is someone like them - someone who has been where they are. And there is hope. There is a way through the pain and out the other side. - Cameron
