Of all the demons Frank Peretti has written about, this is anything but fiction...

If you've ever been there, you've never forgotten it. The feeling is as haunting and familiar as the smell of a middle school locker room.
It is the feeling of being too short or too tall... awkward or less than beautiful. Or of being a dork... a nerd... or just, somehow, different. It is knowing you are vulnerable – and that someone is ready and willing to take full advantage of your weakness by making your life miserable.
It's the fraternity you never wanted to be a part of – the fraternity of the wounded spirit.

In his first work of nonfiction, Frank Peretti examines the pain from his own past and helps us uncover the scars in our personal lives. Drawing on tragic current events such as Columbine, he shows us how ridicule and rejection can push people over the edge. Then, with poignant introspection, he shows us how to heal the wounded spirit that lies within each of us.
