A raw, heartbreaking, and beautifully written novel about surviving the unthinkable and slowly learning to put yourself back together.
Seventeen-year-old Charlie Davis has been shattered more times than she can count. After years of abuse, trauma, homelessness, and loss, she has learned one thing: pain makes you disappear. So she retreats into silence, into scars, into the only coping mechanism she believes she controls.
But when she enters a treatment facility and is forced to confront her past, Charlie begins a fragile journey toward healing. Piece by piece, she must relearn how to trust, how to feel, how to be seen—and how to stay alive in a world that has only ever hurt her.
Outside the safety of the hospital, reality hits hard:
the world is loud, people are unpredictable, and survival isn’t the same as living.
With the help of unexpected friendships, small moments of hope, and the courage she didn’t know she had, Charlie begins to fight for a future she’s not sure she deserves.
Gritty. Honest. Unforgettable.
Girl in Pieces exposes the scars we hide, the battles we fight alone, and the strength it takes to rebuild a life one tiny piece at a time.
Perfect for readers of emotional, healing-focused fiction like They Both Die at the End, Speak, and All the Bright Places.
