Reality can shatter in a matter of seconds. Ten to be exact. In ten seconds, 16-year-old Priya watched her first love Dimitri get fatally wounded. Yet, while Dimitri's life slipped through her fingers, she was the one hospitalized. Why? Because Priya has schizophrenia. And Dimitri never existed.

So, they give her a checklist-for-success and send her off to the vultures at the start of her senior year. It's a good thing her best friend Elli is an expert teen and can show her how to be that normal teenager. Because of Elli, Priya starts crossing off items on her checklist, from going to a party, to going on a date. However, as Priya experiences real-life to the fullest -- the good and the bad -- she finds herself on loose ground as she's constantly tempted by her old life. Can Priya manage to stay grounded in the real world or will she fall back into the one she made up in her head?

Book Description
A thought-provoking look at science denialism “for popular science readers who want better to be able to explain and defend science and scientific methods to others” (Library Journal). The battles over evolution, climate change, childhood vaccinations, and the causes of AIDS, alternative medicine, oil shortages, population growth, and the place of science in our country—all are reaching a fevered pitch. Many people and institutions have exerted enormous efforts to misrepresent or flatly deny demonstrable scientific reality to protect their nonscientific ideology, their power, or their bottom line. To shed light on this darkness, Donald R. Prothero explains the scientific process and why society has come to rely on science not only to provide a better life but also to reach verifiable truths no other method can obtain. He describes how major scientific ideas that are accepted by the entire scientific community (evolution, anthropogenic global warming, vaccination, the HIV cause of AIDS, and others) have been attacked with totally unscientific arguments and methods. Prothero argues that science deniers pose a serious threat to society, as their attempts to subvert the truth have resulted in widespread scientific ignorance, increased risk of global catastrophes, and deaths due to the spread of diseases that could have been prevented. “Prothero’s treatise will give the science-minded something to cheer about, a brief summary of the real data that supports so many critical aspects of modern life.” —Publishers Weekly
