In this heart-wrenching and suspenseful teen
thriller, sixteen-year-old Sarah Meadows longs for "normal." Born
with a port-wine stain covering half her face, all her life she’s been plagued
by stares, giggles, bullying, and disgust. But when she’s abducted on the way
home from school, Sarah is forced to uncover the courage she never knew she
had, become a hero rather than a victim, and learn to look beyond her face to
find the beauty and strength she has inside. It’s that—or succumb to a killer.

About the Author…
Like I did with SCARS and HUNTED, I drew on
some of my own experiences of bullying, abuse, and trauma to write STAINED and
to give it greater emotional depth. Like Sarah in STAINED, I experienced
abduction, imprisonment, periods of forced starvation, mind control, and having
my life threatened. And like Sarah, I tried hard to fight against my abuser,
keep my own sense of self, and escape. I hope readers will see Sarah's strength
and courage, and appreciate her emotional growth as she reclaims herself.
