This story was inspiring to read. It gives me hope that maybe I too can overcome sexual trauma and my ptsd.

It was written beautifully and it was so personal and overall incredible.

Author Natasha Simone Alexenko is certainly a courageous woman as she puts to paper her traumatic sexual assault and the journey of coping with PTSD and handling the politics of the justice system as an advocate.

This book is not for the faint of heart and I suspect in the coming days, weeks, and months Natasha's story and those of other survivors will linger in my memory. This book is also a rallying cry for more people to join the movement towards having sexual assault victims better supported in our communities, in our courts, and in our countries.

WOW! I sat down and read this moving memoir in one sitting. IT was an easy enough read, the subject was tough. I felt so bad for her. Its always amazing how one moment, one incident can derail your life, your plans, your dreams. I thought that the author dealt with all of the circumstances of her rape in her own way and in her own time. I loved that she was determined to keep going and trying new things., having boyfriends, trying out love.
The only thing I wish, was that I knew more from her mom. How her mom dealt with everything. Otherwise a remarkable story of survival.
