Kuderick, Madeleine

YA
After getting caught cutting herself at school, fifteen-year-old Kenna is "Baker Acted"--carted off to a psychiatric ward for a mandatory observation period. Kenna depicts her seventy-two hours of involuntary hospitalization in tense free-verse vignettes. Through her sympathetic protagonist, Kuderick considers the subculture of teen self-harm with a steady, nonjudgmental eye that neither vilifies nor sensationalizes.
