Fiction
Burn Girl
Arlie's face tells the story of her mother's addiction and her stepfather's violence before she ever speaks. Mikulencak writes about the weight of being marked by other people's choices, about finding strength in a body that makes the world uncomfortable. This finds the teenage reader who feels like damage, who needs to see survival transformed into something approaching grace. The narrative doesn't flinch from pain but insists on possibility. Perfect for anyone learning that scars can be maps rather than destinations.
