Kendra hasn't felt safe since devastating memories of childhood sexual abuse began surfacing, especially because she still can't remember the most important detail—her abuser's identity. Someone is always watching Kendra, following her, leaving menacing messages, and making her fear for her life.

Will they ever learn the truth about Kendra's terrible secret? Scars is the story of one girl's frightening path to the truth.
