Can You See Me?

by Ruth Gilligan
$8.90
Can You See Me?
Can You See Me?

Resilience and healing in the face of trauma.

If you've ever faced hardships that seemed too heavy to carry alone, "Can You See Me?" could resonate deeply with you. It's a story that tackles the weight of carrying an unseen burden and the quest for self-forgiveness amidst the picturesque backdrop of Cambridge University. Alice's journey of confronting her past and the solace she finds in unexpected friendship paints a poignant narrative of human strength and vulnerability. This book isn't just about the struggles, but about the hopeful endeavor of piecing oneself back together.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

When Alice arrives on campus amidst the ancient splendour of Cambridge University, she thinks she's found her wonderland. Then one night something happens - one inexplicable act ruins everything and she finds herself alone. Alice will not admit defeat; having practically raised her two brothers single-handedly, she is good at being strong. Too good. But soon her dark secret becomes too much and the cracks begin to show. Her weekly meetings with Flo, the stranger on the bench, become her lifeline. And try as she might to bury the dark truth of that awful night, she begins to realize that some things have to be faced up to. It's time for Alice to look at her broken reflection and start to put the pieces back together...
