Elise,
I don't know why I've been driven from the city to the country early in the morning, still wearing my pajamas, with enough clothes packed for six weeks. Why have I arrived at a gloomy old mansion surrounded by a garden of withered, tangled roses and spotted with foreboding birch and ominous oak trees? It looks like I suddenly jumped across the pond and ended up in England instead of New England!
Why am I being put in a treatment facility with 5 other girls? I don't look like them. I don't act like them. And I certainly don't have anything wrong with me - like them.
They tell me I'm here to recover. From what?
They took my phone, which is one of the reasons I am writing these letters.
It's a mystery to me. I'm sure there has been some big mistake.
Why? I don't know, but I'm going to find out - and then I'm going to prove them wrong.
