Summary

As college freshman Victoria Parker moves on with her life after surviving sexual assault by her father and six months in foster care, she realizes she must muster courage to confront her past while staying true to herselfCollege freshman Victoria Parker is trying to move on with her life after surviving sexual assault by her father and six months in foster care. She's focusing on the positives-- attending college, living on her own, repairing old relationships and making new ones, and getting involved with an abuse survivors activist group on campus. Everything is thrown into disarray when a woman shows up claiming to be Victoria's aunt, and asking her to lie about what happened. With her father's sentencing in a few months, Victoria is not even sure if she has the strength to go through with it. When fellow club members begin pressuring her to speak out, Victoria has to decide how to share her story while remaining true to herself. -- adapted from back cover
