For nineteen-year-old Ellie Carter, anger is the only thing that's ever protected her. After years of abuse at the hands of her father and neglect from her mother, Ellie finally reaches her breaking point. One violent night changes everything, leaving her arrested, convicted, and sent to prison for a crime nobody bothered to understand. Behind bars, Ellie quickly earns a reputation as a troublemaker. She breaks rules, gets into fights, and keeps everyone at arm's length. Trust has never ended well for her. But when she meets Emma Holloway, a member of the prison's welfare team, things begin to change. Unlike everyone else, Emma sees beyond Ellie's tough exterior and recognises the hurt hidden underneath. As Ellie struggles to leave her past behind, she must decide whether to keep her walls up or risk letting someone in for the first time. A story of survival, healing, found family, and discovering that scars don't have to define who you are.
