We've all seen it. The tragic back story a character has--be it their parents died in some sad, traumatizing car accident, due to injustice, on an aeroplane, domestic/sexual violence and abuse or whatever.

Let's see just how many have mentions of a haunting past or tragic incident that he/she keeps secret and doesn't want the world to discover. Or maybe a broken girl, with a scarred pass that has hardened or softened him/her to this day?
Let's start with Teen Fiction. (Keep in mind that I just snapped the few first books I saw from the What's Hot section)
