Kaila started writing during COVID in 2020, when everyone joked that they were going to use their spare time to write a book. But this story had been boiling up for years.

She began writing her story from memory. She wrote “Am I Changed?” to chronicle her time at a therapeutic treatment program where she was exposed to further mistreatment, as she shares a harrowing journey of abandonment and the desire to “get better” in a world that felt like it was built for her to fail. She shares intimate details of what it felt like to be a teen in trouble rather than a troubled teen.
