From a young age, Pippa Scott was made to feel damaged for simply being different. A highly sensitive child prone to emotional outbursts, she was sent away to a rigid British boarding school. Instead of taming her, the experience of abandonment and isolation intensified her longing for acceptance and comfort. Set amidst the changing eras from the 1980s to the 21st century, Paper Girls Burn follows Scott as she becomes a young woman and increasingly turns to sex with sometimes cruel, occasionally dangerous men. Beyond her countless one-night stands, she becomes obsessed with men who reject her. She chases belonging while hooking up with a rock star in London, training to dazzle on Broadway, working for jaded film execs in LA and probing the depths of Vancouver's drag world. At age thirty-five, Scott finds answers through a comprehensive diagnosis: borderline personality disorder with ADHD, OCD, PTSD, and depression. From there, she begins her journey towards healing and inner peace. More than one woman's story, this memoir offers reassurance to anyone who has been made to feel damaged for simply being different and yearning to be loved.
