Torn in Two

By Haylee Lester

Torn in Two follows Scarlette Anderson, a teenager living with a chronic illness - Short Gut Bowel Syndrome. After years of bullying and hospital stays, she finally gets a fresh start at a new school and makes one bold choice: no one can know she's sick.

But balancing hospital visits, new friendships and old secrets isn't easy. When her carefully constructed fa ade starts to crack, Scarlette throws herself into a fashion design competition - determined to prove she's just like everyone else.

A heartfelt story of resilience, identity and learning that being yourself is the bravest thing of all.
