"My life was over; my life had just begun."
I recently read this book for probably the 4th time while on vacation in Thailand. I know, not really a "summer-feel-good-beach-read". I read it because it's an honest and complicated story of loss and life. The main character, who has her virginity (and innocence) taken and her life turned upside down by a man in a tunnel, becomes what we all hope we find in ourselves - a survivor. She must face battles with self (confidence, clarity, comfort), battles with others (space, honesty, trust), and battles with the outside (societal biases, victim blaming, unforeseen complications). Her long and windy road to justice tests the very core of a person. Who was I? Who am I? Who will I be?
