Publisher's Synopsis
Flash-back two years: Jordan Dunkin, a high school senior, and Taylor Dunkin, a junior in college, are left to care for their younger cousin Chris, while their aunt and uncle travel freely for business. A parentless household provides the perfect venue for Taylor's infamous "ragers." As Chris and his friends become exposed to the drugs and alcohol that blanket the parties, they are met with temptations beyond anything they've ever experienced.
Stacy Padula, a native of Pembroke, Massachusetts, has accrued years of experience working with adolescents. She has been a mentor, life coach, youth group leader, and private educational consultant with extensive experience in the fields of college counseling, literature, and tutoring. She is the founder and president of South Shore College Consulting & Tutoring based in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

She wrote the Montgomery Lake High books in the hopes of preparing teens to face the "war zone" that is high school--to help kids deal with social issues and to encourage them to "abstain from substance abuse, find their purpose, and not fall for the false promises of the world."
