On the surface, 16-year-old Lesley Holloway is just another bright new student at Hawthorn Hill, a posh all-girls prep school north of London. Little do her classmates know that she recently ran away from home, where her father had spent years sexually abusing her. Nor does anyone know that she's secretly cutting herself as a coping mechanism... until the day she goes too far and ends up in the hospital. Lesley spends the next two years in and out of psychiatric facilities, where she overcomes her traumatic memories and finds the support of a surrogate family. Jenn Crowell's Etched on Me (Washington Square Press) is a riveting, redemptive coming-of-age story. We're sorry to report that this event has been cancelled due to inclement weather.
