Self Inflicted: a #YouAreNotAlone novel (Self Inflicted Saga Book 1)
To the world, seventeen year old Aurora appears to be like any other teenage girl seeking attention. Her short hair changes color as frequently as her moods. She doesn't bother to hide her piercings or tattoos from the judging world of high school. The one thing she does hide is her scars. When Aurora was only thirteen, she lost her mother to breast cancer, leaving her to be raised solely by her workaholic father. Aurora turns to cutting to deal with the constant emotional pain. Full of scars from her years of self-harm, Aurora has sheltered herself from the world to hide her pain. The only people who know about her self-destructive behavior is her best friend Liam and boyfriend Erik. Her relationship with Erik is as unhealthy as her cutting, but she justifies the abuse, thinking there is always something she has done to deserve it. Barely into her senior year of high school, Aurora finds out she is pregnant. Determined to make the relationship work despite the abuse, Aurora accepts Erik's proposal. The last thing she wants is for her unborn child to know the pain of only having one parent. Just before the wedding, Liam informs Aurora that he is being deployed and before he leaves, he tells her something that turns her world upside down. How long can Aurora continue to make excuses for Erik's behavior? Will their love last?
