"When she was just thirteen years old, Sofia was taken--by two people she had never seen before--to a 'therapeutic wilderness program' three states away. Her own mother, terrified that Sofia was spiraling out of control, had enrolled her in an institution for 'troubled teens.' But instead of finding healing, Sofia found herself trapped. Trapped inside an unregulated industry that used promises of intervention and reform to prey upon panicking parents and kids with court orders"--Provided by publisher.
