Scars to Stars

Self-harm is rarely talked about openly, and that silence makes it harder to seek help and harder to heal. The writers in this collection have chosen to speak — not to explain themselves to those who have not been there, but to be present for those who have.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts address self-harm and its recovery: the circumstances that surrounded it, the reasons it felt necessary at the time, the path toward help through therapy and other support, and the gradual work of finding other ways to hold what was too much. The accounts are told with care and without gratuitous detail.

Who it's for

For those who have self-harmed and are seeking a way forward, for loved ones trying to understand, and for anyone who needs to know that recovery from this particular silence is possible.
