Elissa, Alyssa, and Alissa all found their way into the Troubled Teen industry, and all three died less than ten years after graduating from their program. Leach uses first person accounts from friends and family to create a memoir of these young woman's lives, their time in the troubled teen industry, and how that industry left them with trauma and no ability to cope with the freedom adulthood provided. It was an interesting story that I couldn't put down.
