Silence, self-harm, and recovery

At Sea Pines, a residential treatment facility, Callie keeps her distance from the other girls and refuses to speak. Her self-harm is described as a way of feeling pain and giving shape to an inner scream, placing the novel’s focus on distress, isolation, and the possibility of recovery. The facility setting brings Callie into proximity with others facing their own struggles, even as she resists connection. The book addresses cutting directly, with recovery named as a central concern.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in fiction about self-harm and recovery
  • Readers seeking a character-centered story set in a residential treatment facility
  • Those interested in young adult fiction exploring isolation and mental health

Book overview

An astonishing novel about pain, release, and recovery from two-time National Book Award finalist, Patricia McCormick.

 

A tingle arced across my scalp. The floor tipped up at me and my body spiraled away. Then I was on the ceiling looking down, waiting to see what would happen next.

 

Callie cuts herself. Never too deep, never enough to die. But enough to feel the pain. Enough to feel the scream inside.

Now she's at Sea Pines, a "residential treatment facility" filled with girls struggling with problems of their own. Callie doesn't want to have anything to do with them. She doesn't want to have anything to do with anyone. She won't even speak.

But Callie can only stay silent for so long...
