The story of a teenage girl on the brink, and the bumpy road back to
recovery.
Bella is at breaking point. Everyone in her life needs something from
her, and there’s only one thing that dulls the pain.
Alcohol smooths the sharp edges and makes it all so much easier. When
Bella drinks, she doesn’t feel heartbroken over her ex. Or caught in
the middle of her parents’ divorce. Or overcome with grief for her
grandmother.
But one night changes everything. When she awakes in hospital with no
memory of what happened, it’s time to face reality. And for Bella, that
means rehab and the bumpy road to recovery.
