Cut by Patricia McCormack

A very timely topic for today, Cut tells the story of Callie, a high school girl who is in therapy for cutting herself. The setting is a residential treatment facility, where Callie remains silent. She can not, or will not, talk. We hear her thoughts, her observations, of all the other girls who are there with her, and all their dysfunctions.

A complicated story, but written in a simple, quiet style.
