The Girl In Pieces

In Girl in Pieces by Kathleen Glasgow, seventeen-year-old Charlotte "Charlie" Davis is completely shattered. Having already lost her father to suicide, her best friend to a profound tragedy, and her abusive mother to a complete lack of support, Charlie has learned that the only way to silence her crushing internal sorrow is through the quiet, physical relief of self-harm. After surviving life on the streets and a severe suicide attempt, she lands in a psychiatric treatment centre alongside other girls who share her pain. However, when her health insurance suddenly runs out, Charlie is prematurely discharged and forced to move to the wild, unfamiliar landscape of Tucson, Arizona. Completely on her own, she must navigate a new town, complex relationships, and her lingering inner demons to take on the slow, exhausting, and brave journey of putting herself back together piece by piece
