In "Shattered Glass" by Teresa Toten, two very different girls, both grappling with their own challenges, form an unexpected bond amid their struggles. The story centers on a harshly lit world of a residential treatment center where they confront their past traumas, forge friendships, and discover their own identities. As they navigate the complex emotional landscape of recovery, they face issues of mental health, trust, and the quest for self-acceptance. Through their journey, they learn that healing is not linear, and with vulnerability and courage, they can face the shards of their shattered lives together.
