Dreamland is a story that can hit close to all females. Dreamland is based around the theme of an abusive relationship. On the morning of Caitlin's 16 birthday her home life has been turned upside down. With this flips comes a man into her life that sways her into a dreamland of drugs. This life soon becomes all she knows is a life of him and drugs she is no longer allowed to be with friends her own age. She has many around her that care for her, but she can not find a way out. It goes as far as a trip to the hospital before things start to flip again. This is a touching story that can save the lives of many girls that might find themselves in this situation at some point or another in their lives.
We all know that substance abuse among teens is a huge problem in this country. However, when a teen is involved with drugs and alcohol most of the attention is focused or isolated on that one particular issue (ie: the drug and getting them sober). I think when you are living in that world, many other things can go wrong as well, apart from the actual drug or substance. Many girls who get caught up in the drug world are also subjected to other forms of abuse such as prostitution and physical abuse by the people they are forced to associate with because of the drug. This seems like a book I would like to read, thanks for sharing!
