ABIGAIL,

FOR NOW

BY JACKIE MARTIN

Her name is Abigail. But only while she's here. Teenaged Abigail is found by her parents in the middle of the woods, frantically trying to leave Earth to go back home where she claims she belongs. It's enough to convince them that her recent erratic behavior comes down to more than just puberty, and they check her into a psychiatric hospital for adolescents. Abigail, angry and afraid that she'll never go home, reluctantly begins to connect with her fellow residents. While her parents and doctors struggle to understand her, Abigail learns more about being human than she ever could have done by simply studying them from afar.
