Annotation: I pushed open the car door, dug my feet into the ground, and made a run for it. Behind me, I heard my social worker start yelling. At the driveway entrance the huge iron gate still stood open. I had to get away--that was all I could think about. I was through the gate, and there was the street ahead of me. Everything in me pulled together and began to run, fast as my heart was beating, faster. Kelly Paddik is locked up. Sent to a secure facility because she is a "danger to herself, " Kelly wants only to escape. But her painful past continues to haunt her until she is forced to face up to the most painful memory of all. A searing look at one girl's struggle for self-respect.
