Open Wounds

by S.C. Farrow

Assaulted by her mother’s boyfriend, a fourteen-year-old girl longs to be loved by her teenage crush. An immigrant woman who fled her homeland is forced to travel across the country by the man who promised her a better life. An acutely sensitive eleven-year-old girl is despised by her fifth-grade teacher. A war veteran’s family falls apart as he combats the consequences of PTSD. An Anglican nun struggles to comfort a woman who’s been sentenced to the gallows. These people exist in different times and have vastly different lives, yet all of them suffer from the devastating effects of trauma.
