Description
Can You See My Scars? is a story of trauma, adversity, healing, and recovery. Samuel, a young man about to begin his sophomore year of high school, accepts a job that culminates in a chemical explosion leaving Samuel with severe burns on his face, neck, and arms. The tragic and sudden accident sets Samuel on an unpredictable journey of healing, recovery, and acceptance.
In the wake of the accident, Samuel endures grief, pain, and numerous surgical procedures for the scars on his body. He grapples with his appearance, faith, and the loss of friends. Through it all, he comes to view his scars as an unavoidable part of the human experience. Whether physical, emotional, or spiritual, we all carry scars and it is simply what we choose to do with them that defines us. Samuel's story allows us to see him for who he truly is, while also turning a mirror on ourselves.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
I had a lot of emotions going through me while I read this book. It's very well written although at times tough to read because of the trauma. I can relate to a lot of how the author felt after being burned. I had an allergic reaction to a medication that caused burns from head to toe. So reading about the pain of the burns to the debridement of the dead skin, to dealing with stares and questions from people about why I look like I do, I really felt like I was not alone in my circumstances.
The strength and inspiration the author has is admirable. From going back to school to finding a spouse, I could relate to much of what he experienced.
