Zakiya, estudiante de segundo año en la Preparatoria Roosevelt, se ha adaptado al nuevo año escolar. Ama a sus amigos, al equipo de voleibol y a su clase de baile. Incluso tiene en la mira a un chico guapo. Pero su mundo se derrumba cuando su padre muere inesperadamente. Zakiya tenía una relación especial con su padre y está completamente devastada por su muerte. Después del funeral, sus amigos y familiares intentan consolarla, pero Zakiya los rechaza. Solo quiere estar sola. Abandona el equipo de voleibol, rechaza al chico con el que una vez soñó salir e incluso falta a la escuela. Cuando experimenta un episodio aterrador de ansiedad, descubre que cortarse la ayuda a aliviar el dolor. ¿Aprenderá alguna vez a lidiar con su dolor y la sensación de pérdida? Heridas Duraderas de Zakiya es la undécima novela de la popular serie de la Preparatoria Roosevelt de Gloria L.

Zakiya's Enduring Wounds

"Zakiya, a sophomore at Roosevelt High School, has settled into the new school year. She loves her friends, the volleyball team and her dance class. There's even a cute guy she has her eye on. But her world falls apart when her dad dies unexpectedly. Zakiya had a special relationship with her father and is completely devastated by his death. After the funeral, her friends and family try to console her, but Zakiya pushes them away. She just wants to be alone. She quits the volleyball team, shuts down the boy she once dreamed of dating and even skips school. When she experiences a frightening episode of anxiety, she discovers that cutting herself helps to relieve the pain. Will she ever learn how to deal with her grief and sense of loss? Zakiya's Enduring Wounds is the eleventh novel in Gloria L. Velâasquez's popular Roosevelt High School Series, which features a multiracial group of teenage students who must individually confront social and cultural issues (such as violence, sexuality and prejudice)."--
