Empty — K.M. Walton

A girl tumbles into a downward spiral when a romantic encounter turns violent in this heartwrenching novel from the author of Cracked.

Dell is relentlessly teased about her weight and devastated when a tender moment with her long-time crush turns violent. Distraught and isolated after the attack, Dell's depression -- and life -- spins out of control.

Finding that food no longer eases her distress, she turns to her mother's prescription pain pills. But what starts as a quick fix rapidly escalates. Dell is overwhelmed by the loneliness, the self-hatred, the heartbreak, the shame, and the name-calling. How far will she go to make it all stop?
