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.
