“We don’t fight for our own happy endings. We fight to say you can’t. We fight for accountability. We fight to establish precedent. We fight because we pray we’ll be the last ones to feel this kind of pain.”

I honestly have no words. This is a phenomenal book. But, it is quite heavy as well, due to Miller's narrative style and the subject matter. I listened to this as an audiobook and the experience was something else. I only have one quote highlighted here, but there are so many others that I could have used. This book made me angry, frustrated, sad, disgusted, and also happy for so many reasons. The suffering that victims experience is unimaginable. The justice system that perpetuates this is also absolutely disgusting and it needs to change. If more people speak out, and write stories that need to be told, it just might do that.

This was such a powerful, revolutionary memoir, and listening to it read by Chanel was so moving. I am hopeful that society is moving in a direction where victims do not have to go nearly as far as Chanel did to receive appropriate justice. I am also hopeful that these acts of violence can continue to be intercepted by community and looking out for each other. Believe victims, and believe women.
