Stand Alone: A stand-alone gritty young adult comtemporary novel
Is Justine crazy?
Everyone thinks so...
Her mother. The kids at school, and the teachers and administrators too. Even the police who pick her up from her night rambles. Maybe them most of all.
Justine's therapist says she is 'troubled', but it means the same thing. He thinks that her vivid, reoccurring nightmares and atrocious behavior point to some trauma in her past; but Em, Justine's mother, can't explain it.
Justine used to have Christian, her best friend and skateboard partner. He was the only one who accepted her. Maybe because skating is the only time that Justine is really free to be herself. Now that Christian is gone... Justine keeps thinking things can't get any worse.
Even as she sees her life spinning further and further out of control, Justine can't give up her sense of who she is—someone far different than the loving daughter Em expects her to be—to just fit in and be happy. She is sure that Em secretly holds the key to who Justine really is. But if she does, Em isn't talking.
