Self Inflicted is an emotional young adult contemporary novel about surviving the things that break us and finding the strength to put ourselves back together.

Aurora has always been good at pretending she is okay.

Behind her rebellious attitude and fearless exterior is a girl struggling with pain she doesn’t know how to express. After experiencing trauma and loss, Aurora finds herself caught between wanting to escape everything she feels and desperately searching for a reason to keep going.

When the choices she makes begin to shape her future in ways she never expected, Aurora must confront the consequences of her actions, the wounds she has been carrying, and the parts of herself she has spent years trying to hide.

But healing isn’t a straight line.

Along the way, Aurora must learn that recovery is messy, setbacks don’t erase progress, and asking for help doesn’t make her weak. As she faces the realities of her trauma, relationships, and the scars—both visible and invisible—that she carries, she begins to discover that she is more than the things that happened to her.

Self Inflicted explores the difficult realities of self-harm, abusive relationships, mental health struggles, grief, and the journey toward healing. It is a story about survival, forgiveness, and learning that even in the darkest moments, there is still a way forward.

At its heart, Self Inflicted is a reminder for anyone who has ever felt broken, lost, or alone:

You are more than your pain.
You are worthy of healing.
You are not alone.

Perfect for readers who enjoy emotional young adult fiction, realistic contemporary stories, and books that explore difficult topics with honesty and hope, Self Inflicted is a powerful journey through trauma, recovery, and discovering the strength to keep fighting.
