A lot of teenagers take drugs and run away - some never make it back, this is Alice's true story.
Alice is fifteen, white middle-class. She diets. She dates. She gets decent grades. She thinks someday she's like to get married and raise a family.
On July 9, Alice turned on to acid. She digs it. Acid makes the world a better place. It opens up the world of sex. It makes Alice feel free. Sometimes Alice worries about taking drugs. But she figures life is more bearable with drugs than without.
Alice's parents don't know what's happening. They notice changes. They think Alice might be "associating with the wrong people". They have no idea she's on drugs. They cannot help her.
The difference between Alice and a lot of other kids on drugs is that Alice kept a diary.
