"A richly diverse, creative, and gender-inclusive anthology . . .
at once deeply shocking and shockingly commonplace, writing
candidly, devastatingly, sometimes wittily. With a defining
introduction by Joyce Maynard and a resounding afterword by Anita
Hill, this is a universal and clarifying call to break the long
silence that has imprisoned so many in pain and self-blame. With
many contributors writing about being 'grabbed' when they were
children or teens, this is a hard-hitting, enlightening, and
empowering collection for YAs."
