【不管是遭遇病痛或詛咒，我們依然有選擇】Scars Like Wings  by Erin Stewart

『人生真實處境的書寫，我們在讀別人的故事時也是在思索自己的故事』

每個人都有傷痛，都有疤痕，只是有的看不到，有的卻張揚在臉上人盡皆知。失去父母，失去自己的家，失去最要好的朋友，甚至是自己的皮膚...在火場中倖存下來的，只剩她自己，殘缺不全的心與破碎的外貌。不用照鏡子也可以從他人投射在自己身上的眼光看到自己什麼樣子，60%灼傷的女孩Ava，走出醫院後寄宿在阿姨與姨丈家，無法再躲在醫院裡自怨自哀，即便她覺得自己無力也無權展開下一階段的生活，遇到活力四射的Piper為她灰色的生活中點亮了一點火光，她如何在悲痛之中舔舐傷口抑或在朋友的鼓勵下帶著疤痕展翅飛翔，重建人生需要的勇氣與力量何止一兩年，而生命中與自己相遇的每個人也都有重要的意義。  


Relatable, heartbreaking, and real, this is a story of resilience--the perfect novel for readers of powerful contemporary fiction like Girl in Pieces and Every Last Word.

Before, I was a million things. Now I'm only one. The Burned Girl.

Ava Lee has lost everything there is to lose: Her parents. Her best friend. Her home. Even her face. She doesn't need a mirror to know what she looks like--she can see her reflection in the eyes of everyone around her.

A year after the fire that destroyed her world, her aunt and uncle have decided she should go back to high school. Be "normal" again. Whatever that is. Ava knows better. There is no normal for someone like her. And forget making friends--no one wants to be seen with the Burned Girl, now or ever.

But when Ava meets a fellow survivor named Piper, she begins to feel like maybe she doesn't have to face the nightmare alone. Sarcastic and blunt, Piper isn't afraid to push Ava out of her comfort zone. Piper introduces Ava to Asad, a boy who loves theater just as much as she does, and slowly, Ava tries to create a life again. Yet Piper is fighting her own battle, and soon Ava must decide if she's going to fade back into her scars . . . or let the people by her side help her fly.

"A heartfelt and unflinching look at the reality of being a burn survivor and at the scars we all carry. This book is for everyone, burned or not, who has ever searched for a light in the darkness." --Stephanie Nielson, New York Times bestselling author of Heaven Is Here and a burn survivor
