![]() That, alone, makes this book thrust itself forward. There are books I could compare this to because they have similar subject matter- books that deal with sexual abuse and ones for cutting but rarely any that combine the two. Each facet stands out, shining as brightly as its counterpart without either overtaking the other. This is a powerful, potent book that will leave you feeling twisted and flayed because this book not only dives into the horrific world of child sexual abuse, it throws in cutting. Scars is the unforgettable story of one girl's frightening path to the truth. But the truth about Kendra's abuse is just waiting to explode, with startling unforeseen consequences. Since her own mother is too self-absorbed to hear her cries for help, Kendra finds support in others instead: from her therapist and her art teacher, from Sandy, the close family friend who encourages her artwork, and from Meghan, the classmate who's becoming a friend and maybe more. To relieve the pressure, Kendra cuts aside from her brilliantly expressive artwork, it's her only way of coping. If she lets her guard down even for a minute, it could cost Kendra her life. ![]() ![]() Frightened, Kendra believes someone is always watching and following her, leaving menacing messages only she understands. ![]() Kendra, fifteen, hasn't felt safe since she began to recall devastating memories of childhood sexual abuse, especially because she still can't remember the most important detail- her abuser's identity. ![]()
