Know My Name by Chanel Miller
5.0
"Drinking is not inherently immoral. A night of heavily drinking calls for advil and water. But being drunk and raped seems to call for condemnation."
I have no words for this book. This is undoubtedly the BEST memoir I've ever read, and really, really loved. It's so good that after finished reading, I wanted to thank Chanel Miller for being so strong and for having written her story.
This memoir dives deep into how ugly healing is, and how the battle doesn't end when the case ends. Rape victims fight at least 2 battles - the one in court, and the one with themselves. And Miller did a beautiful job in delivering her story as she went through both. I recommend this book to everyone: boys, girls, parents, teenagers, elders, everyone who wants to broaden their horizon and everyone who wants to learn empathy, to be human, to be kind.
