Why would a good person commit a terrible act? Fifteen years ago,
Jeannie's relationship with a close friend ended in rape. With the
rise of the #MeToo movement, recurring nightmares of the event that
plagued her as a girl have returned. To process her conflicted
feelings of betrayal and take back control, she resolves to face
her trauma head-on by interviewing her rapist. Through their
transcribed conversations and discussions with her closest friends,
Jeannie's compelling memoir explores how the incident impacted both
of their lives, while examining the culture and language
surrounding sexual assault and rape. Things We Didn't Talk About
When I Was a Girl is a necessary contribution to the wider
conversation around sexual violence from a brave, new voice.
