The Walls Around Us

"Violet is a ballerina poised to live her dreams. Amber is an inmate at a juvenile detention center, facing a life of imprisonment. Orianna slips between their lives, connecting all three in a tragic cycle of mistakes, regret and rage. Part ghost story and part love song to teenage girls, this book illuminates both the beauty and the pain of youthful friendships. It paints a raw and unromantic portrait of the little societies that girls create, whether in the dance studio or the prison yard."
