What a great day to finish my book outside! This novel provides so much insight to Anderson's other novels. Worth the read if you can endure the pain!
From Goodreads.com:
A searing poetic memoir and call to action from the bestselling and award-winning author of Speak, Laurie Halse Anderson!
Bestselling
author Laurie Halse Anderson is known for the unflinching way she
writes about, and advocates for, survivors of sexual assault. Now,
inspired by her fans and enraged by how little in our culture has
changed since her groundbreaking novel Speak was first published
twenty years ago, she has written a poetry memoir that is as vulnerable
as it is rallying, as timely as it is timeless. In free verse, Anderson
shares reflections, rants, and calls to action woven between deeply
personal stories from her life that she's never written about before.
Searing and soul-searching, this important memoir is a denouncement of
our society's failures and a love letter to all the people with the
courage to say #metoo and #timesup, whether aloud, online, or only in
their own hearts. Shout speaks truth to power in a loud, clear voice-- and once you hear it, it is impossible to ignore.
