Seventeen-year-old Vivienne Barston’s life has fallen apart.
With her mother recently dead, her father disappears into his grief –
leaving Viv to deal with her sadness and anger alone. Viv turns to
destructive behaviors like petty vandalism, but after a disturbing stint in
a juvenile detention center frightens her, Viv agrees to a court mandated
service opportunity designed to expunge her record. The deal: work for six
weeks with a trail conservation crew in the rural woods of southern Oregon,
and she’ll be free with a clean slate.
She knows it’s her last chance to fix her life.
When Viv arrives at the small town of Hard Luck, Oregon, she meets her
motley crewmates, all with troubles of their own. The unusual group travels
to Grafton Stake, a remote and derelict former asylum with a haunted
history–and now Viv must face the ghosts of the past while fighting
for her future.
