Rape by Joyce Carol Oates

One night walking through the park at midnight after a fourth of July party, an horrific attack took place on a thirty five year old mum, Teena. She may have acted like a certain teen in her matter and dress, but she didn't expect to be brutally taped by a gang when her daughter was present no less.

This book is brutal and honest, her twelve year old daughter grows up telling the tale to us through recovery, trial and the after effects on her still now. The trauma is raw and inescapable in this sad, horrifying book which is amazing but not for sensitive people or young people.
