At the age of nineteen Anna decries the world after her brother, Charlie, is murdered trying to protect her.  She cycles through psychologist after psychologist, but no one understands the crushing weight of her guilt. Because Anna is holding a secret. A secret no one knows. Charlie's death was her fault. 

In a bid to help her heal, her parents allow her to move into Charlie's empty house. But instead of healing, Anna locks the door, and doesn't leave. A year goes by, and then her mother finds The Survivor Crew,  a peer support group for trauma survivors. In a desperate plea, she threatens to sell Charlie's house if Anna doesn't attend. It's at Anna's first Survivor Crew meeting  that she meets Ezekiel. 

Ezekiel is nothing like Anna. His scars are right there, on his face, for everyone to see. A topic of conversation, or quiet whispers. But over time Anna begins to think her scars might not be so different, even if they can't be seen. Will Anna finally be able to heal the wounds that have controlled her life for so long?

Everything Hurts by analiciapaloma

I knew what was coming later tonight, not only at home, but on the way there. I knew that reacting right now would just make it worse though. So I kept quiet and pretended that I was not dreading when I would be alone with the man that stood beside me, wondering when it became so normal to do so. Jason and Alicia have the perfect relationship from the outside looking in, but Alicia has kept her wounded spirit and body hidden well. After another one of Jason's violent rages that is impossible to hide, Alicia is finally able to get away from the abuse though. In the process of healing, she begins to relearn what trust, compassion, and safety are once again - that is, until Jason discovers her whereabouts.

WAKE (Wattpad edition) by coffee-an-flowers

The powerful conclusion to the SCARS trilogy. Jon finally feels like he has a place where he can get a break from the weight of having to be Pastor Pete's good son. But the opioid pills he's using to manage his pain are changing his behavior in ways he won't be able to hide for much longer. It isn't even his biggest secret: no one knows the real Jon White, and he's terrified if the full truth of himself comes out it will cost both the love of his earthly dad and his heavenly Father. Cary has one last hurdle to leave years of childhood abuse behind him: the trial at which he has to testify against his abuser. But his decision to speak up has splintered the remains of his family and his former best friend seems bent on self-destructing. Cary's going to need everything he's learned along the way to snatch Jon off the ledge. It's never been more obvious the journey from walking wounded to wholeness isn't meant to be travelled alone.
