Charlie Petrizzo knows about hurt, and the scars it can leave. He also knows about healing. What he never suspected is how little he knew about forgiveness. Charlie Petrizzo looked death in the eye twice - once when he was just four years old and again when he was 16. He survived brain damage, paralysis, burns over almost 70% of his body. He has the scars to prove it. Charlie's Scars is the story of one man's life-long struggle to heal. For Charlie that has meant more than physical healing. It has been a journey to faith. And it has meant finding meaning and purpose - a calling, if you will - in the life-altering accidents of his childhood. Part of Charlie's healing process has been bringing together dogs with special gifts and children with special needs. Then Charlie learned that the selfless work he was doing meant giving a second chance to a brutal murderer - Melinda Loveless, who murderer 12-yr old Shanda Sharer in 1992. Will Charlie's scars make it impossible for him to continue his work of healing? Will his scars make it impossible for him to offer mercy to a killer, and grant her the second chance at life that he has been given?
