My name is Kendra. I’m 15, I’m an artist, I’m a daughter, and I’m trying to heal. Years ago, I was sexual abused but I don’t know who the abuser was and that is what I am trying to uncover in therapy, or at least that is part of the purpose. I also cut, no… not with scissor but I cut myself….see I feel that this helps me with my “healing”. Not many people understand this concept so I don’t try to explain it, I keep this secret hidden, from everyone, its better this way. I have a few friends and my life started to get better, I thought things would eventually be okay but then, I started remembering and then my world turned upside down.What a great read! I loved the emotions that Kendra had and she felt so real and alive in her expressions and her actions. When she cut herself and the emotional outlet she received reminded me so many times of why other people drink, take drugs, have sexual addictions, etc. - it was just that hers is so visual and exposed to the world. I was thankful to see she had an “out” with so many different people and glad she was strong individual who fought for what she wanted. I hope others can read this book and gain strength from it. The Author’s Note and the Resource Guide in the back are a true testament to the help and support that are available just for the asking. I know this topic is tough to read for some people, but it is reality. I really enjoyed this book.
