Title: Innocence interrupted: stark, straightforward story of a sexual assault
Review: At age 18, Alice Sebold, an innocent (in every sense of the word) college student was brutally raped while crossing campus one night. She starts her story by recounting the event in graphic detail, and continues the tale in the same frank fashion. Nearly as shocking as the opening chapter are the reactions and actions of certain members of the police force, her family, and fellow students. That she was able to keep a level head, in spite of what she went through, in her attempts to obtain justice is a testament to her mature mental state. Ms. Sebold story, told with frank forthrightness, shines a shockingly bright light on scary situation. Equally interesting: Even Silence Has an End by Ingrid Betancourt, I Am the Central Park Jogger by Trisha Meili, and The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold.
