At age fourteen, Cyndy Etler had escaped from her violent home only to be reported as a runaway and sent to a drug rehabilitation facility that changed her world. Behind the closed doors of Straight, Inc., the program used bizarre and intimidating methods to treat its patients. In this memoir, Cyndy recounts the living nightmare that she endured for sixteen months at Straight, Inc.
The "treatment" in this memoir is almost unbelievable--the abuse and brainwashing is astounding; good thing she included real case files at the end. I would have liked to hear more about how the author dealt with life after her time spent (months and months!) at Straight, Inc.
