It also features chapters on the best practices in electronic-file storage for clinical reevaluation and telemedicine procedures for safe remote evaluation. The second section offers a comprehensive review of treatment and evidence-based technologies, presenting a consensus of the various available guidelines (silicone, surgery, chemical injections, mechanical tools for scar stabilization, lasers).

Book excerpt: A scar is the definition of who you are, but what happens when scars never heal? Meet Ross, the President of State December. Orphaned and lonely, and recently elected as the leader of the Twelve States. He is perfectly happy being alone, thank you; he doesn't need any more hurt in his life. Having dealt with an abusive father and an illegitimate sister born out of wedlock, then losing both of them in quick succession has worn him out. Meet Laura. Her story is one of rags to riches. Adopted by President Marano from the slums of State November, she was both envied and awed upon as the second in line to presidency. However, after the brutal murder of her adopted parents, both she and her adopted brother Thomas are left stranded. Ross and Laura's paths cross at the wedding altar. For both, it is hate at first sight. When a series of mysterious murders plague the states, can they both work their way through it? And perhaps stitch their wounds up into scars as well?

Book excerpt: Scars of Victory is the story of one woman's courageous journey to find meaning to life's unfair wounds and hardships. Abused and rejected as a child, and ultimately exploited by authority figures she trusted in the church, Gale's misaligned search for love and acceptance resulted in a plethora of poor decisions, mental trauma and further injury, until she finally discovered the reality of God's love and His purpose for her life. Her wounds and scars were eventually healed and transformed by the impact of the truth she found in God's word, the influence of genuine Christian friends, and her husband's unconditional love and patience. Scars of Victory is a testimony to the all-encompassing providence of God, who despite any circumstance, "works all things together for good" to those who will turn to Him and trust Him (Romans 8:28).

Book excerpt: In The Scars We Carve: Bodies and Wounds in Civil War Print Culture, Allison M. Johnson considers the ubiquitous images of bodies—white and black, male and female, soldier and civilian—that appear throughout newspapers, lithographs, poems, and other texts circulated during and in the decades immediately following the Civil War. Rather than dwelling on the work of well-known authors, The Scars We Carve uncovers a powerful archive of Civil War–era print culture in which the individual body and its component parts, marked by violence or imbued with rhetorical power, testify to the horrors of war and the lasting impact of the internecine conflict. The Civil War brought about vast changes to the nation’s political, social, racial, and gender identities, and Johnson argues that print culture conveyed these changes to readers through depictions of nonnormative bodies. She focuses on images portrayed in the pages of newspapers and journals, in the left-handed writing of recent amputees who participated in penmanship contests, and in the accounts of anonymous poets and storytellers. Johnson reveals how allegories of the feminine body as a representation of liberty and the nation carved out a place for women in public and political realms, while depictions of slaves and black soldiers justified black manhood and citizenship in the midst of sectional crisis. By highlighting the extent to which the violence of the conflict marked the physical experience of American citizens, as well as the geographic and symbolic bodies of the republic, The Scars We Carve diverges from narratives of the Civil War that stress ideological abstraction, showing instead that the era’s print culture contains a literary and visual record of the war that is embodied and individualized.

Book excerpt: In Scars That Wound: Scars That heal, you'll walk alongside Jackie, whose arms are marked with reminders of the painful journey she thought she had to take alone. Self-injury is inflicted to deal with stressful situations or traumatic memories; to temporarily ease fears, loneliness, and anxiety; or even as a coping mechanism to turn to again and again. There is a way out of this world of pain. Jesus truly cares-his scars prove it. He's waiting to help heal your wounds and the wounds of the people you care about.
