Girl in Pieces.

GIRL IN PIECES is Kathleen Glasgow's debut novel. She lives and writes in Tucson, Arizona. You can follow Kathleen on Twitter @kathglasgow. Charlotte Davis is in pieces. At eighteen she's already lost more than most people lose in a lifetime.

But she's learned how to forget it. The thick glass of a mason jar cuts deep and the pain washes out the sorrow until there is nothing but calm.

You don't have to think about your father and the bridge.

Your best friend who is gone forever. Or your mother who has nothing left to give you. Every new scar hardens Charlie's heart just a little more, yet it still hurts so much.

It hurts enough to not care anymore, which is sometimes what has to happen to find your way back from the edge. 'poignant and transcendent ... This grittily provocative debut explores the horrors of self-harm and the healing power of artistic expression' KIRKUS REVIEW Ages 15+ / Crossover
