A true story detailing a lifetime of toxic relationships and shocking abuses of every sort, which started in early childhood, Scar Tissue illustrates exactly how damaging unchecked anger, untreated mental illness, and familial disfunction can be to those trapped in such environments. Never mincing words, it vividly captures the horrors and heartache the author went through in her formative years, and beyond, and how it shaped every aspect of her life, eventually leading from a suicide attempt to the growing realization that she needed to do whatever it would take to break a cycle that was all she had ever known, so that she could begin the healing process and save both herself and her children from the echoes of her past.
