Held against her will and raped by her 38-year-old boss, 19-year-old Anna tries to make sense of her unbelievable situation. How did an innocent friendship with her boss turn into weeks of forced sex and the inability to leave her oppressor's side? Furthermore, what happens when weeks of rape result in a pregnancy?

This true-life novel depicts a graphic and raw recounting of the unimaginable horrors of the Summer of 2010.

Amazing!
I usually don't like reading. However, I love true stories. This book is amazing. It's straight and to the point and very wonderfully written. I had a hard time putting it down. Anna did such a good job at putting the reader in the story and helping us feel like I was her.

I to have gone through rape. I couldn’t call it that at the time. I am starting emdr. And this was amazing to know that I wasn’t the only one that just couldn’t bring myself to leave or call for what it was. I stayed for years in my relationship, as I begged for it to change. I begged for him to stop. I cried my whole way through this book! I will definitely have to read it again!

This book is very detailed concerning the experiences of the author. It’s not a “pleasure” read but it does a lot to explain how such a horrible experience could happen.

So you can buy a book like this but can’t similar info in a review on it. Amazon is against SA survivors. But this book is too notch. I wrote a heck of a good review and they won’t post it because it has similar content to the book. Was trying to make the point that even if you’ve been thru similar stuff that this book is still ok to read. Helped me some reading about the authors life but nobody will really know and read it as well for the same reasons because Amazon is against us. But I do want to say the author is so brave for speaking out. Kudos to you
