Lucky: A Memoir by Alice Sebold
4.0

Amazing.

I put off reading this for a long time, because I knew her rape occurred while she was a student at Syracuse, so I didn't want to terrify myself, but that's actually not what I came away with at all from this book. Yes, the events in her life are brutal and terrible and heart-breaking, but it's a book about survival.
