About the book
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.
- Kidnapping Thriller: Sarah is abducted by her father’s handsome assistant, a man her family trusted completely, who reveals himself to be a deranged killer.
- Survival Story: Held captive and blindfolded in a remote cabin, Sarah must outwit her captor in a desperate fight for her life.
- Body Image and Bullying: Plagued by bullying over the port-wine stain on her face, Sarah must find a courage that has nothing to do with appearances.
- Finding Inner Strength: A dark and powerful coming-of-age story about a girl who refuses to be a victim and discovers the hero she was always meant to be.
