Girl with Scars
A moving novel about scars, visible and invisible – unadorned and authentic
Lara is 15 and has to spend the next four weeks as an inpatient in clinic for young people with behavioural problems. As she herself admits, she is pretty crazy. Why else would she smuggle razor blades into the clinic so that she can continue cutting herself? However, group therapy seems to be as annoying as it gets, and the psychologist doesn’t tell her anything worthwhile either. Instead, Lara starts talking to Neo and Finn about her problems. And somehow, these teenagers succeed in changing Lara’s life.
