I suddenly feel bare, naked, exposed. I try to move, but cannot seem to lift a finger. I focus every muscle and bone in my body. I need to help her. I need to save her. I watch him peel the clothes off her body. Tears roll down her face. I feel a tear fall from the corner of my eye.

She is mumbling and begging, "No.... Stop... Please... Don't..."

Exposed, what a feeling of vulnerability. This memoir will account the days lost after a young girl is assaulted as she tried to move toward healing.
