agonizing. heartbreaking. has stayed with me since. as a child sa survivor, this tore me apart, it was a surreal time reading it..there were lots of similarities to vanessa’s experience and her thought process to mine. explores grooming, its short and long term impacts, and the intense battle inside a survivor’s mind.
