Sixteen-year-old Sarah Meadows longs for "normal." Born with a port wine stain covering half her face, all her life she’s been plagued by stares, giggles, bullying, and disgust. But when she’s abducted on the way home from school, Sarah is forced to uncover the courage she never knew she had, become a hero rather than a victim, and learn to look beyond her face to find the beauty and strength she has inside. It’s that—or succumb to a killer.

"I read this for the first time shortly after it came out (2013) and revisited it this year. It is very well-written and easy to follow. However, there are many aspects of this book that may not be suitable to read for some people (TW- SA, Abduction, abuse). With that said, this book is an amazing account of survival and is absolutely worth reading if you can. One last thing to note- the end of the book has important statistics and links related to SA, body image, and self defense. "

"Trigger Warning! This book deals with abduction and sexual assault. The writer uses her own experience and really puts you in the mind of the victim. Her strength to keep fighting to survive is inspiring. It put you there with her. "

"This book is definitely one that was hard for me to get through the first page. It wasn't necessarily the writing as it was the topic. I thought I could get through it as the topic interests me. As someone who is in early menopause and still have theirs, I just couldn't get through it.<br/><br/>I received a free copy of this book via Querencia Press and am voluntarily leaving a review."
