Sorensen takes us behind the action and allows us to understand the purpose it served for them, it wasn’t about the mutilation it was about the effect. Kayden cuts and Callie has a different form of self-mutilation. Self-mutilation and cutting is often portrayed as a girls disorder but that’s not the case and it’s certainly not the case in this book. Both Callie and Kayden have secret coping mechanisms that they have hidden from the world and it isn’t until that secret is shared that they find a new level of understanding. Sorensen tackles the very sensitive subject of self-mutilation and delves into the mentality behind it. Kayden and Callie though are very damaged and have suffered terribly, are still suffering terribly, and don’t cope very well – but they do survive and that is always a step in the right direction. I have only read one other Jessica Sorensen novel and that also featured a damaged character running from an event in her past. I think the first book would have given me a much greater insight into their pasts and what brought them to where Redemption started, but as the story unfolds you do learn all of that information. It’s very much the story of their romance but even more than that it’s the story of their recovery from their own personal demons and how they move forward. Let me start by saying that you don’t have to have read The Coincidence for this book to make sense, it does read fine as a stand alone but for me personally, I would have preferred to have read the first one in this instance.Ĭallie and Kayden are two very damaged young people that have found one another and together start thinking they might make it through. The Redemption of Callie and Kayden is the sequel to The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden, which I have not read.
