"This is a must read true horror story for anyone who works with or is the parent of a disabled child or adult. It is a detailed exploration of how abuse happens and is unable to be prosecuted successfully without extreme effort, and even then not well because of the way our legal system is set up to treat people with disabilities that affect mental states."
"This book is very compelling to read. It's quite intellectual / analytical and yet does not skimp on the gorey details one would expect from such a tawdry true-life story."
"This book was an amazing look at small town cultures and rape. I have never shaken the feeling I had reading this book, and this girl has always stayed with me."
"Reminded me (in a disturbing way) of my hometown--not because it was a bad place but because it was a pretty nice place that nonetheless valued, or at least tolerated, jockish aggression and incubated a lot of racism and misogyny. It was hard to read this book and remember how bad it could be for people who were not part of the dominant social layer."
