Having a daughter going off to college, when I heard what this book was about from a friend of the author, I had to read it. The author describes a personal and utterly disgusting incident involving alcohol and a date-rape mickey which happened in a frat house at the University of Virginia (UVA). She goes on to describe the life-long emotional trauma of being a victim and the ineptness of various agencies (over many years) in helping her bring the criminals to justice. Truly enlightening and a book every young woman should read - not just those going to college. Very quick read that will surprise you, perhaps make you sick to your stomach, and perhaps will make you angry as hell like it did me. Highly recommended.
I have added this to my daughter's required reading list before she goes off to college. Tragic story that can help so many other young women if they are just informed and more aware. The other book that is a must read if you appreciate the message of this book is "Want to Go Private". It is a fictional account but also has a powerful message for girls entering high school.
