The Scars of the Chosen

Taylor Ann Burnzette wakes up in the hospital, beaten and bloody. She feels safe and comforted for the moment. Her favorite cartoons are on the television, and kind nurses bring her pancakes. But Taylor worries about what to tell them when they ask who hurt her. And she wonders what will happen to her when her mother comes back to get her. Little does she know that her mother will never come back. Her mother will never hurt her again. But Taylor's problems are far from over. Her wounds are slowly healing, but what will she do about the scars that only she can see?
