Publisher's Synopsis
Curious. That's the one word Alice uses to describe herself in her Group Therapy sessions. She thinks it has a nicer ring to it than the crazy her parents called her before they abandoned her at Guardian House with other unwanted misfits. Thanks to a childhood incident, Alice can't remember if she actually visited the fantasy land that appears in pieces of her memory. But she knows her instincts are trying to tell her something is up at Guardian House, and she is too curious to avoid it. After years of struggling to find her own kind of normal, Alice has found a sense of sanity with some of the patients, especially her best-friend-she's-basically-family Dorothy, and her hunky crush Tim. Alice's goal, aside from finding the courage to let Tim know how she feels, is to be discharged and leave Guardian House. That is, until mad Hattie reminds them of the legend of the evil Red Queen. Aided by quirky Therapy friends, secrets of the mysterious Dr. Wize, and a little magic, Alice must fight to save her friend's lives - even if it means betraying the only thing she has grown to rely on.
