Know My Name by Chanel Miller

5.0

I don’t often give books five stars but this one deserves them all. This young woman’s writing is stunning and she lays bare her journey and private pain to teach us all something about ourselves and our culture. Those who defended her rapist for his “mistake” will probably never read this book and that is simply tragic because they need to open their eyes and see the pain and impact his actions caused. Honest and unflinching, this book will stick with me for a long time. I wish so many victims didn’t need this book to help them realize their truth matters. But I hope they will find some measure of comfort and peace in knowing they aren’t alone after they read it.
