Typical teenage life drama...with a twist.

Have you ever been the freak? The cutter? The druggie? Gay? Suicidal?

Meet three teens, Collin, who tried to kill himself by shooting himself in the heart. His parents pressure him, he got his heart broken by the love of his life, or so he thought at the time. He was sent to Aspen Springs to recover with a series of therapy and counseling. Vanessa cuts herself, and went a little too deep, which planted her in Aspen Springs. They all think she stopped, but she really didn't. Haven't ever heard there is no way to stop a cutter from cutting? We can't forget about Tony. He's gay, for a while. Then he isn't. Aspen Springs brings these three teens together in a story of complete truth. How families can be so blind to the obvious. And how love can kill you, but then bring you back from the dead. How things aren't quite what they seem. The story starts with three, Collin, Vanessa, and Tony, but ends with two. Aspen Springs couldn't help who didn't want to be helped.

Let this book take you into a world where you too could fall in love with the characters, and they will break your heart.
