About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager seems to be retreating into a shell or struggling with a heavy secret they cannot find the words to explain. It is a powerful resource for parents of teens navigating the aftermath of trauma, especially when that trauma is tied to memory gaps, shame, or a sudden change in personality and social habits. The story follows sixteen year old Sid as she deals with the fallout of an incident at a party that she cannot fully remember, leading to an isolating spiral of disordered eating and social alienation. This is a deeply realistic look at the long road to recovery and the importance of finding a safe space to speak one's truth. While the subject matter is intense, it offers a vital roadmap for understanding how trauma manifests in a teenager's daily life and identity. It is best suited for older teens due to its mature themes of sexual assault and body image issues.
