Cut is a deceptively simple novel about family pressures, illness in the family, alcoholism, mental illness, finding oneself, and figuring out how to fit in. 15-year-old Callie has been committed to a mental hospital (oops, I meant "residential treatment facility") for her inclination to self-mutilate her body with bloody scars. In addition to her hidden scars (and the overwhelming desire to cut her arm on anything available, from a broken pie plate to a paper towel dispenser), Callie has become mute. She has no desire to speak, yet even when she desperately tries to form words, she can't make her body respond.Slowly, Callie learns to like, and to learn from, the other misfits she shares a wing with in the Sea Pines facility. Cut is an eloquent work on mental afflictions, friendships, family secrets, co-dependency, and survival. Recommended to any teenager. Another great work is Bottled Up.
