Kendra hasn¿t felt safe since devastating memories of childhood sexual abuse began surfacing, especially because she still can¿t remember the most important detail¿her abuser¿s identity. Kendra knows someone is always watching, following her and leaving menacing messages, and making her fear for her life. Kendra cuts to relieve the pressure; it¿s how she copes, along with her brilliant, expressive artwork. Her mother is too self-absorbed to listen, so Kendra finds support elsewhere: from her therapist and her art teacher; from Sandy, a family friend who encourages her painting; and from Meghan, a friend and maybe more. Will they ever learn the truth about Kendra¿s terrible secret? Scars is the story of one girl¿s frightening path to the truth.
