Category: Adolescent psychotherapy

Four teenage girls with secrets to hide and nothing in common but their miserable childhoods... All Misty ever wanted was a normal family. But like so many others, Misty's parents split up. Now they use their daughter to hurt each other, to deliver tiny cruelties in an endless stream. Misty knows her parents love her. But she has an unspeakable secret that burns in the core of her being: she hates them. Star, too, is hiding her pain. Only when she decides to reveal her secret, will she be able to face the nightmares of her past. But Misty and Star are nothing like Jade. They don't know what it's like to be a pawn in a courtroom battle, or to be lured into an ordeal too traumatic ever to forget. Then there's Cat, who has the darkest, most horrifying secret of all. One by one, in Dr Marlowe's group therapy sessions, the Wildflowers tell their shocking stories. Some things, however, should be left buried forever...
