Carolyn is therapist to fifteen year old self harmer and psychosis sufferer Kendra. We learn that she was assaulted five months ago if not for a long period beforehand too.
In school, Mrs Archer her art teacher encourages her talent, which she gets from her mum who is struggling to cope with Kendra after telling of her abuse. Their family also faces worrying times as finances start to crumble and they may need to move away as a result.
Sarah was Kendra's friend until feelings got in the way and so when a girl, Meghan, sticks up for her and they grow closer, convincing their deepest secrets with each other their bond grows and love blossoms in the wake of traumatic events and despite Kendra's mum not understanding her daughters sexuality, doesn't stop Meghan supporting her and being around.
Yet as weird things keep happening to Kendra, convinced her abuser is following and watching her through her life as she tries to stay alive, a promise she made her abuser plagues her mind as she realises maybe ending things is the only way to stop him getting her first...
A raw deep account of how trauma can effect a person in many mental and physical ways as well as showing how crucial a support system and regularity is.
