Book Summary

From the award-winning author of Some Boys comes an unflinching examination of rape culture that delves into a family torn apart by sexual assault

It's been two years since Ashley was raped by her brother's friend, Vic. A year since she sat in a court and watched as he was given a sentence that was more like a slap on the wrist. And now that her rapist is out of prison, she's not sure she can handle it.

Derek feels responsible for his sister's assault, and the way he dealt with the aftermath. With Thanksgiving approaching, he doesn't know if he can face going home and all he left behind.

Told through alternating perspectives, this powerful story follows Ashley and Derek's journey to heal themselves and repair their relationship…before their anger and pain take over.
