Sometimes it's the family you can't choose who are the ones to save you. As I watched the rich Washington landscape of mountains and thick green forests, I didn't know what to expect. Granted, I was watching it from the back of a squad car, so it's not like I had a choice in the matter. High school is hard enough--dealing with hormones, grades, the pressure of college, social media, prom, sex ed... the list can go on forever. I wished for that kind of normalcy. Instead, I was being shipped way up to the middle of nowhere woods of Washington state--a serene community of cozy cabins, the smell of burning firewood... and enough troubled, drug-addicted, almost-criminal teens to make me wonder if this was a better option than juvie. Little did I know that these drug-addled, societal misfits were exactly what I needed to become myself again. Unsound follows a tight-knit group of troubled teenagers living at a boarding school for at-risk youths up in a remote forest in Washington State. These kids have had childhood ripped away from them but they're on the journey to take their lives back. 340 page standalone but with a sequel in the works.
