Daisies and Bruises

SCARS is a phenomenal book by local Cheryl Rainfield. I took it out from the library and had it finished within two days! Here’s a summary from Amazon:

“Kendra, a sexual abuse survivor, cuts to cope with the pain, but she doesn’t remember the identity of who abused her. Kendra makes a friend in Meghan, and falls in love with her. When Kendra’s abuser starts threatening her, she must find a way to face her past and stop hurting herself–before it’s too late.”

mindyourmind did an excellent interview (I wrote the questions – hehe) with Cheryl a couple of months ago here.

Anyway, SCARS is a free download from Amazon for today and tomorrow! It’s a kindle download but even if you don’t have a Kindle, you can still download a free copy and read it through a Kindle app on your computer, iPad or iPhone, or Android device. Click “more” below to find out more details!

PS It helps me if you download a copy; the more copies downloaded, the more notice Scars may get.

“Scars is a brave novel, a read-in-one-sitting-except-when-you-have-to-put-it-down-to-breathe novel.”
– Ellen Hopkins, author of Burned, a National Book Award nominee and an ALA Best Book for Young Adults, and Glass, an ALA Top Ten Book for Young Adults

“Scars is a painful and well told story, obviously written with the heart’s blood of the author. It could prove to be a life-saver for other young victims of abuse and self-harm.”
– Lois Duncan, Margaret A. Edwards Award-winning author of Killing Mr. Griffinand I Know What You Did Last Summer
