I really enjoyed reading Touching Scars.  And I read it in one day if that tells you anything.Timber Nelson has come home from Iraq and trying to find his new place in life.  He ends up in Port O'Conner, Texas working on an oil rig when he comes across Kat (Katherine) at a local bar.  Kat just so happens to have gone to the same High School as Timber - where they've had a few brief encounters but never ran in the same social circle since Timber was the cool kid and Kat was not.Timber and Kat both have their issues, their scars, that they are trying to hide from one another but it soon becomes apparent that if they want to overcome those scars, they will have to talk about them.  They have to confront both Timber's PTSD and Kat's past sexual assault head on, and they discover that they can heal together and together they are able to take on the world.I didn't want this one to end!  It wasn't a very fast paced book, but to me that only reflected that the healing process is never a fast one either.  So in some spots where it was a little slow, I had to remind myself that sometimes when you rush things is when you miss the important parts....and that's what this was, a story of healing where Timber and Kat were going to do things the right way - they were going to do it forever.Great read.  Thank you.
