What a surprise this book turned out to be.  From exposing the inner emotions of a "cutter" (someone who cuts on themselves to manage their emotional pain...usually from sexual abuse) to the long journey to healing, this book will grab your heart.  Then it will shake it to your very core as you journey with the characters through their darkest moments.  As a therapist who worked for years with survivors of sexual abuse, it shows very well that sexual abuse is not so much about sex as it is about power...of one person over another who is younger and weaker.  It also portrays so well the persona of a girl who is so filled with shame that she acts out the negative side of it all.  Yes, the author shows that there is redemption in the power of love to heal the wounds, but it does not come easily or quickly.  As a reader, you must be willing to walk the painful path with the characters to know that redemption.  But it is worth it!
