News of Lissa Mainzer's senseless suicide shocked everyone in the city. But hiding from the truth - or pretending it didn't happen - won't help anyone. Lissa's friends vowed to do somehting to keep others from feeling so desparate. They formed a crisis hotline at their school, manning the phones in shifts, trying to help kids deal with their problems. Then the hotliners get a call from Monica, and they know they face their greatest challenge yet. They were too late to save Lissa. But now with the hotline can they save someone else?
