Romance
Carter St. John, a sixteen-year-old high school student, lies broken on the pavement, left to die after a hit-and-run. As his body gives out, his mind refuses to surrender - clinging to memories, to dreams, to everything he still hoped to become. He rages against the dying of the light, realizing, with aching clarity, that this might be the end. He starts accepting his fate and is ready to let it all go. "No one is coming to save you. You cling to everything and everyone around you, and yet... here you are... alone. As sadness, self-reflection, and the thought of leaving everything behind threaten to consume him, Carter is saved by his rage, which manifests as a hallucination: a spectral, warped version of his own fury given physical form. Standing above his own broken body, he says: "Someone is waiting for you-to see that you have a home to come to. A home you must fight for. A home worth building. Carter, you must fight; she would not forgive you." Then, the past unravels in vivid fragments as the sirens and flashing lights draw near. His mind leaks into the past, the laughter of friendships, the rush of first love, the sting of betrayal. Memories flood him, raw and relentless, pulling him back through the wild, beautiful chaos of coming of age.

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. He has just one question - where is God when everything is shit? - and so far nobody's answering. This is a novel about what happens when the silence breaks - about faith and family, suffering and doubt and the answer to Jon's question. ☆Featured on Wattpad's @ProfileMentalHealth 'A New Day' reading list☆ ☆Winner of the Read4Read Awards Best Teen Fiction☆ SCARS Trilogy book one.
