About the book
The very first novel by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of If I Stay now has a beautiful new cover. Sisters in Sanity is a story of sisterhood and self-discovery that’s perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen, Morgan Matson, and Siobhan Vivian.
Britt Hemphill doesn’t know who she can trust. Her free-spirit mother has disappeared, and her father, once Britt’s partner in crime, has remarried and shipped her off to Red Rock, a so-called treatment facility for troubled girls. And the counselors at Red Rock? They’re completely insane. Britt’s horror at the “therapy”—vicious name-calling and grueling physical labor—is second only to her hatred for the backstabbing patients, who win privileges by ratting each other out.
But when V, Bebe, Martha, and Cassie, the four girls who keep Britt from going over the edge, help her sneak out to go see Jeb, her maybe-more-than-friends bandmate, she starts to believe that there may actually be people who can help her—and people that she can help by taking down Red Rocks. Sisters in Sanity perfectly captures the feeling of being trapped in a world that refuses to understand you—and fighting back.
She can’t take on a corrupt system alone. But who can she trust when everyone is a potential traitor?
- Forced Proximity: Trapped behind the barbed-wire fences of Red Rock, Britt and the other girls have nowhere to run and no one to rely on but each other.
- Punk Rock Heroine: Britt lives for her band, Clod, and her maybe-more-than-a-friend bandmate, Jeb. She’d rather be playing a gig than enduring Red Rock’s brutal \"therapy.\"
- Unlikely Allies: With V, the tough-as-nails leader; Bebe, the snooty rich girl; Martha, the quiet artist; and Cassie, the Texan outcast, Britt forms a powerful sisterhood.
- Fighting Back: This isn’t just about escape. It’s about exposing the truth and taking down the corrupt facility from the inside.
