Más información sobre el libro

Relatable, heartbreaking, and real, this story of resilience is perfect for fans of powerful contemporary fiction. Ava Lee has lost everything: her parents, her best friend, her home, and even her face. A year after the fire that altered her life, her aunt and uncle believe she should return to high school and be "normal" again. But Ava knows there is no normal for someone like her, and she feels the weight of her scars in the eyes of others. Making friends seems impossible—no one wants to be seen with the Burned Girl. However, when she meets fellow survivor Piper, Ava starts to feel less alone. Piper, with her sarcastic and blunt demeanor, encourages Ava to step out of her comfort zone. Through Piper, Ava meets Asad, a boy who shares her passion for theater, and she begins to rebuild her life. Yet as Piper battles her own struggles, Ava faces a crucial choice: to retreat into her scars or allow those around her to help her soar. This heartfelt narrative offers an unflinching look at the reality of being a burn survivor and the universal scars we all carry, resonating with anyone who has ever sought light in the darkness.
