SOLVED. YA Fiction - realistic with a little fantasy, empath feeds on emotions in high school. [s]

[Schaza]

somethings I remember:
she volunteered in the hospital
she volunteered on some sort of grief line
her parents worked in fields with high emotions
one of her cousins was excommunicated because she got her own emotions
you have to do something their family deemed really bad to get your own emotions
these are the only things that I remember and it's bothering me I read this book in 2011, but I don't have access to the library I read it at :(

You're welcome, I myself was trying to remember this book earlier this year. I'm glad I could help.
