About This Book
Burdened with the pressure of believing she is responsible for her
brother's illness, 15-year-old Callie begins a course of
self-destruction that leads to her being admitted to Sea Pines, a
psychiatric hospital the "guests" refer to as Sick Minds. Although
initially she refuses to speak, her individual and group therapy
sessions trigger memories and insights. Slowly, she begins emerging from
her miserable silence, ultimately understanding the role her
dysfunctional family played in her brother's health crisis.
Patricia McCormick's first novel is authentic and deeply moving. Callie
suffers from a less familiar teen problem--she cuts herself to relieve
her inner frustrations and guilt. The hope and hard-won progress that
comes at the conclusion of the novel is believable and heartening for
any teen reader who feels alone in her (or his) angst. Along with Laurie
Halse Anderson's Speak and E.L. Konigsburg's Silent to the Bone,
McCormick's Cut expertly tackles an unusual response to harrowing
adolescent trouble. --Emilie Coulter
