Description
A compelling book, I was drawn in by the raw and relatable main character, Kirsten. I was immediately hooked as soon as I started the book, and could scarcely put it down. Kirsten is a college-aged girl who struggles with self-harm. The book is about her journey towards healing as she learns what mercy truly means.
Description
A young woman who used cutting to cope with traumatic events in her life learns lessons in healing at a treatment program on a working ranch. When a terrible accident fractured her family, the only relief Kirsten could find was carving tiny lines into her skin, burying her pain in her flesh. The pain she caused herself was manageable compared to the emotional pain that raged inside. After her boyfriend betrays her, Kirsten reaches for the one thing that gives her a sense of control-- but this time the cut isn't so tiny, and she lands in the psych hospital. When her pastor mentions a treatment program on a working ranch, Kirsten goes. Ever so slowly, she embraces healing-- and learns there's nothing that cannot be redeemed.
