Mystery Scars - Brennan, Merry

. .

Résumé :
A week ago, Jewel Jacob's biggest worry was making it into the Teen Arts Show. So how did the talented freshman wake up in a hospital bed with pain shooting up her arms and no memory of hurting herself? Stuck in a support group circle with other kids who tried to end their young lives, she wonders how they all got here... how she got here. Join Jewel on a journey far deeper than the scars on her wrists as she untangles confusing memories and learns that even in the darkest places, there's always a way back to the light. Get ready for a story of healing and self-discovery, where friendship, love, and quirky humor shine through the toughest times. Mystery Scars is a compelling young adult novel that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Through heart-wrenching twists and turns, it explores the power of resilience, the importance of [teen] mental health, and the beauty of finding hope in unexpected places. Merry Brennan brings compassion and empathy to a complex subject. I cannot recommend her work highly enough. Midwest Book Review WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING: I could not put the book down. It made me weep, laugh, and feel grateful for this kind of story to offer hope to those suffering and their families. Riveting and intense... a tale that needs to be told. Dr. Halen is a wonderfully compassionate character whose conversations with the members of the group are insightful for all of us. I loved how the story ended... it sheds a light on today's struggles and encourages teens to seek help early on. With help and reaching out to others, life can get better. OFFERING HELP: With today's youth experiencing mental health issues in unprecedented numbers, Mystery Scars is a timely YA novel that may help individuals who are suffering, as well as those who love and support them....
