Ecstasy

Book Cover & Preview Text
I slowly walked towards my parents grave as I gulped down a deep breath of cold October air. I could feel the tears starting to run down my cheek as I saw their grave stones in the distance. I stood there staring at their grave stones but the thought of my parents being in the ground was too much for me to handle. I collapsed onto the grass and burst into tears but what I really wanted to do was scream. As I sat on the cold hard ground wiping the tears from my eyes I wondered why I even came here. I suppose the thought of being close to my parents brought me comfort but as the cold air ran up my spine I never felt more alone.

About the Book
Jen is a senior in high school, mourning the death of her parents. Her friends try to help—although their methods of doing so involve moving themselves one by one into her house. Her best friend, Alyssa, and Mitch, the guy she’s dating, decide the best way to distract her is a party; it’s about time the senior class had a pre-graduation bash. With Jen’s parents out of the picture, the party takes place at her house. There’s plenty of booze, but Mitch shows up with ecstasy as well. Jen’s friends say there’s no harm in the drug, so they take the pills—with tragic results. After a trip to the emergency room, Jen’s life is even worse than it was before. Suicide seems a comforting idea to her. She was once the cheerful girl next door. Now, she wants nothing more than to end it all. Her therapist suggests hospitalization, and Jen wonders how she got here—how one mistake could ruin everything. She has a choice; she can continue down her dark path or turn her life around … if it isn’t too late.
