Return to the halls of Pinehurst, jump-started by a new Foreword written by Laura Vater, MD

A troubled boy. A mysterious past. An ever-changing reality.

Will Horner escaped his former high school for a fresh start, but the past has a habit of repeating itself. Being an avid filmmaker, Will is thrilled to join the historic arts school, Pinehurst Academy. However, since the incident, Will hasn't made any films. He's been living them. When his emotions take over, Will's world transforms into a new reality: a living, breathing movie. Believing these visions were triggered by filmmaking, Will's father made him hang up the camera long ago. But, when a new group of friends recruits Will to direct a movie for a life-changing prize, Will must decide if the film is worth the risk. With the help of his new friends, he will push the boundaries of reality and fight back against the horrors of his past. Can he escape his past, or will he be forced to relive it?

"Freeze Frame is the kind of book you can't put down because the characters feel so real and the story is so necessary. Beauchamps's intelligent, bracing, and moving narrative shows us that recovery in the face of adversity is not a lonely path trod by individuals. Friendships, mental health support, and creative pursuits within that recovery are transformative-they add profound meaning and purpose to our lives. Freeze Frame is a call for seeing, supporting, and loving the individual complexities of every human being."
