The Merciful Scar

The Merciful Scar, by Rebecca St. James and Nancy Rue, tells the story of girl name Kirsten who cuts herself to deal with anxiety, and depression. She leaves scars on her body especially where people can not see them it is her way of letting out the feelings she feels beneath her skin. This is a common psychological condition that many are fighting. The story allows one to see the journey through Kirsten's eyes, as you see what goes through her mind and what draws her to cut and then her feelings through the healing process. I found their treatment of the subject well done it reminded me of my own experience with depression and anxiety.  I would recommend this book for women who would like to get a peek at some of the emotions and feelings people who suffer from mental conditions.  If you are someone you know is dealing with cutting, depression, anxiety, or any of the varied mental connections seek help now. I have only been able to deal with my own illness with lots or medical and professional help.
