GIRL IN PIECES
GIRL IN PIECES is the stunning, heartbreaking story of what it means to live in the world when your body is your own worst enemy. It marks the arrival of Kathleen Glasgow, a major new voice in young adult literature.
Seventeen-year-old Charlie Davis is a cutter.
While most girls her age are thinking about dating and where to go to college, Charlie is struggling just to survive. After losing her best friend Ellis, then her home, Charlie finds herself living on the streets of Saint Paul, Minnesota, where every day is a fight to live. After a traumatic event lands her in the hospital, Charlie finds what might be her best hope: a recovery program for girls just like her. When her insurance runs out, though, Charlie is back on the streets, alone. Through the kindness of her old friend, Mikey, the roadie for a band in Arizona, Charlie finds herself in the endless desert of Tucson, surrounded by musicians, artists, and eccentrics, and, in particular, a washed-up singer named Riley West.
Kathleen Glasgow has received fellowships for the writing of this novel from the Minnesota State Arts Board and the Jerome Foundation. Her work has been published in Cimarron Review, Bellingham Review, and Clackamas Literary Review. She lives in St. Paul, Minnesota and writes for The Writer’s Almanac.
