It is 1852 as approximately fifty slaves work a one-hundred-acre cotton plantation in Carolina County, Virginia. Little Emeline, one of five slaves residing in the big house on the Berkley plantation, has been gifted with buttercream-colored skin, beauty, and innocence. Ten years later, Emeline is one of the privileged who has been assigned to complete arduous tasks around the house. Despite what she sees and hears, she has learned to keep her head down and stay out of white folks’ way. Her husband, George, is Master Berkley’s valet and driver, who understands what life is like for the other slaves who are beaten, sold, and cannot read or write. George wants nothing more than to escape their life of bondage. Emeline, on the other hand, is terrified of what might await them on the other side. Two years later, George runs off and joins the Union Army, leaving Emeline behind to wonder whether he is alive or dead. But what she does not know is that the taste of freedom is closer than she thinks. In this compelling historical tale, two privileged slaves toiling on a Virginia cotton plantation embark on a journey toward freedom, instigating a generational curse that transforms the future.

"The Scars I Carry" invites you into the depths of my experiences, offering a collection of poems that chronicle the battles I've endured and the scars they have left behind. This book goes beyond being a simple compilation of verses; it is a profound testament to resilience and the unyielding strength it takes to face each day when the weight of past struggles continues to linger. In those quiet moments of solitude, when the world seems distant and the pain feels overwhelming, it's important to remember that countless others have faced similar battles and are ready to hear your story and help guide you toward a brighter path.

I hope you see your own strength mirrored in these words and understand that while we all confront our battles, we are never truly alone.

From a writer whose work has been called “breathtaking and dazzling” by Roxane Gay, this moving, illuminating, and multifaceted memoir explores, in a series of essays, the emotional scars we carry when dealing with mental and physical illnesses—reminiscent of The Collected Schizophrenias and An Unquiet Mind. In this stunning debut, Laura Lee weaves unforgettable and eye-opening essays on a variety of taboo topics. In “History of Scars” and “Aluminum’s Erosions,” Laura dives head-first into heavier themes revolving around intimacy, sexuality, trauma, mental illness, and the passage of time. In “Poetry of the World,” Laura shifts and addresses the grief she feels by being geographically distant from her mother whom, after being diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s, is relocated to a nursing home in Korea. Through the vivid imagery of mountain climbing, cooking, studying writing, and growing up Korean American, Lee explores the legacy of trauma on a young queer child of immigrants as she reconciles the disparate pieces of existence that make her whole. By tapping into her own personal, emotional, and psychological struggles in these powerful and relatable essays, Lee encourages all of us to not be afraid to face our own hardships and inner truths.

A severely burned teenager. A guitar. Punk rock. The chords of a rock 'n' roll road trip in a coming-of-age novel that is a must-read story about finding your place in the world . . . even if you carry scars inside and out. In attempting to describe himself in his college application essay—to "help us to become acquainted with you beyond your courses, grades, and test scores"—Harbinger (Harry) Jones goes way beyond the 250-word limit and gives a full account of his life. The first defining moment: the day the neighborhood goons tied him to a tree during a lightning storm when he was 8 years old, and the tree was struck and caught fire. Harry was badly burned and has had to live with the physical and emotional scars, reactions from strangers, bullying, and loneliness that instantly became his everyday reality. The second defining moment: the day in eighth grade when the handsome, charismatic Johnny rescued him from the bullies and then made the startling suggestion that they start a band together. Harry discovered that playing music transported him out of his nightmare of a world, and he finally had something that compelled people to look beyond his physical appearance. Harry's description of his life in his essay is both humorous and heart-wrenching. He had a steeper road to climb than the average kid, but he ends up learning something about personal power, friendship, first love, and how to fit in the world. While he's looking back at the moments that have shaped his life, most of this story takes place while Harry is in high school and the summer after he graduates.
