The author deals with childhood sexual abuse with
sensitivity and realism. Through flashbacks, the reader sees glimpses of her
sexual abuse. As the story progresses,
the reader experiences Kendra’s raw emotions and mounting fear as her abuser closes
in on her.
To say SCARS is a page-turner is a cliché and I don’t want
to demean the author's work by not being original. But the truth is I couldn't stop reading it. I worried with Kendra, smiled with her during her lighter
moments and felt her fear as she was trapped with her abuser. I couldn't put
the book down until I knew the outcome.
I won’t spoil the ending. SCARS is a powerful story of betrayal, survival and hope and a must-read for teens and young adults.
What other books do you feel is a must-read?
