A teenage pregnancy forces Amy to leave her abusive family home and search for help. Although she gets support from good people, poor self esteem and the voices from her past plague her. Just as she begins to gain some confidence, she's drawn into another abusive relationship.
From Thorns is about a young woman who comes from abuse and, although she wants a healthy relationship, is only comfortable with what she knows and understands. Will the cycle of abuse continue? Or will her desire to protect her child provide the strength needed to confront her world view and make some difficult decisions?

Alie Cardet does a masterful job of portraying a young woman who suffers psychological trauma, struggles with low self-esteem, and has difficulty trusting others because of the abuse she suffered at the hands of those who were supposed to love her. How her story evolves, devolves and evolves again is captivating and engaging. This is an important read for women who have experienced psychological, verbal and/or physical abuse. It is perhaps even more important for men to read to become conscious of how their words and actions can hurt, scar, and maim.
