Scars

Kendra survived years of abuse as a child, but she cannot remember the face of the person who did it, and the gap terrifies her because it means he could be anyone still in her life. A talented young artist, she pours the truth she cannot speak into her drawings, and she uses self-harm to manage the panic and numbness that follow her. As memories begin to surface, Kendra leans on a steady therapist, a new relationship with a girl named Meghan, and an art teacher who believes in her. Rainfield writes the self-harm with honesty and care while weaving in a thread of suspense over who hurt Kendra and how close he still is.
