Chloe Doe
My soft center is the Chloe I was born to be;
the outer shell, as thick as armor, is the girl
I was forced to become.
The place they send seventeen-year-old Chloe Doe is better than where she was. Better than the streets, or so she's told. The Madeline Parker Institute for Girls is the place that can change her-- that is, if she can let go of the past that has nearly destroyed her.
Inspiring in her ability to overcome, Chloe Doe is poised to show the power of perseverance and, above all, hope.

Praise for Chloe Doe:
*"The language is sharp and engaging, even lyrical at times, and her emergence from a kind of living death (she sleeps in a coffin-like cardboard box in a room without windows) into a life with direction and purpose, but not without tragedy and disappointment, is believable."--KLIATT (starred review)
"Give this intense and emotional debut to fans of Ellen Hopkins and Patricia McCormick, as well as E.R. Frank."--Booklist
"Readers will stay with Chloe's story. This hard look at one life in a lockdown facility may appeal to fans of Adam Rapp and Ellen Hopkins."--Kirkus
"Readers will be drawn to her tragic story and be heartened by her ability to work her way through tough circumstances." - The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"An intense but fulfilling read...Phillips is excellent at letting the story of Chloe's troubled childhood unfold with just enough mystery to keep readers engaged." - VOYA
"Readers will be captivated throughout by Chloe's voice." - Horn Book
