Peace. The definition of peace is freedom from disturbance; tranquility or a state or period in which there is no war or a war has ended. It is also something that 14 year old Zackary Hayes struggles to grasp.
Zack is different from most kids, even at a young age. He has always been quieter than most kids his age. He was different in many ways but one random summer day his world changed for what we could say the better.
Will he conquer the darkness of his strange past or will it come back to haunt him? Will he be able to learn that not everyone wants to hurt him? And what will it take for Zack to find his way home?

HIDING - every scar has a story
Every scar has a story but Cary Douglas isn't talking. SCARS trilogy vol. 1. Cary learned a long time ago that secrets and silence equal survival and he's kept his promise to his family ever since. So when the clean-cut new kid starts paying attention to him at school, it's a problem. Cary is sure he can't afford to care about one more person, but Jon White's persistent kindness is cracking him open. Every smile has a cost and Jon White is tired of paying it. It's never been easy to be the oldest son of Pastor White, and keeping it together when the bully at his new school is in his face every day is almost more than he can do.
