This recovery novel explores life after rape. When Valerie reveals she was raped, her best friend avoids her, her classmates taunt her, and her family suffers. Klein doesn't sugarcoat the constant struggle to move past such trauma, but she does make it clear that Valerie was right to speak up, with her protagonist displaying a newfound confidence at book's end.
