Download Virgin: A Memoir on Rape, and Relationships and Life Thereafter AudioBook Free
One in six women in America will experience sexual assault of some sort. As much as 96% of these women won't report it. Few will ever before talk about it, much less say that it just happened to them. Virgin instructs the story that is all too common now: Teens go to parties, have a few too many drinks, and discover themselves in situations they never banked upon, situations they thought these were smarter than. At 16, Ella Ceron was date-raped at a celebration. Until now, she's never discovered the details of this evening to anyone because of fear, shame, and thoughts of utter misunderstanding. This is a story of how, eventually, Ella started to realize that this one unpleasant event didn't determine her and even regardless of her unwillingness to cope with it, she discovered that she had changed past it. Social stigma and cultural taboo keep subjects and survivors silent. But their reports have to be informed, because theirs are the stories we hardly ever hear, and hardly ever listen to. Virgin is just one account, but it generally does not participate in Ella Ceron. It belongs to every survivor who may have learned to deal, every survivor who is still coping, and every person who didn't are worthy of to have something as horrendous as rape in their lives.
