No Visible Injuries, by Sylvia Clare

Author: Sylvia Clare. Review by Daniel Clarke Flynn

The longer I live, the less I consider ‘growing up’ limited to childhood.

This can happen in unexpected awakenings, when long-buried childhood shock bursts out, or in fond memories that yield a sense of love and gratitude.
