As a new attorney, Pamela Braswell was confident her career was about to skyrocket. Instead, she narrowly escaped death at the hands of a serial rapist and killer--his only surviving victim. Twenty years later, the moratorium on executions in California that put his execution on hold ended, but the governor announced he wouldn't enforce the death penalty. Braswell's firsthand true crime narrative gives a victim's perspective of the harrowing investigation, the revelations in the press, the grand jury indictment and capital murder trial. Through it all, her refusal to be a victim transforms her view of the world--and its heroes.

In the era of #metoo, a clear-eyed, sharp look at rape culture, sexual assault, harassment and violence against women--and what we can do about it. "A timely and brilliant book." (Jessica Valenti) Every seven minutes, someone in America commits a rape. And whether that's a football star, beloved celebrity, elected official, member of the clergy, or just an average Joe (or Joanna), there's probably a community eager to make excuses for that person. In Asking for It, Kate Harding combines in-depth research with a frank, no-holds-barred voice to make the case that twenty-first-century America supports rapists more effectively than it supports victims. From institutional failures in higher education to real-world examples of rape culture, Harding offers ideas and suggestions for how we, as a society, can take sexual violence much more seriously without compromising the rights of the accused.

Every 73 seconds another American is sexually assaulted. 1 out of every 6 American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime (14.8% completed, 2.8% attempted). About 3% of American men-or 1 in 33-have experienced an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime. From 2009-2013, Child Protective Services agencies substantiated, or found strong evidence to indicate that, 63,000 children a year were victims of sexual abuse (National Sexual Violence Resource Center). Those who have been sexually violated often suffer the impact of the abuse for many years to come, sometimes even for a lifetime. Many lose their sense of worth, their identity, their purpose, and their voice. The brave men and women who share their stories in this book made the decision to be SILENT NO MORE! They found supernatural strength to turn trauma into resilience, not just for their sake but also for the sake of others. Sexual assault in childhood or adulthood impacts not only the victim but also the victim's family and friends as well as society as a whole. Relationships, families, and careers are impacted as well. In this regard, sexual assault is a public health problem that concerns everyone. We can all do something to stop sexual abuse in our communities and help other heal.

O'RISE: Overcoming Rape, Incest, Sexual, & Emotional Abuse explores the physical and psychological trauma of being physically, emotionally, and sexually abused as a child. It examines the ramifications of decades of mental illness. It examines the life of SA Ballantyne: a mother, a daughter, and a grand-daughter who struggles to endure life as she knows it. This will unearth the roots rather continue to move infertile soil. This is about one person who in the process of 40 years became 5 different people in order to save the life she was given. For this is a story of a girl who was raped at 5, molested at 6, 8, and 12, and endured years of physical violence. A child who would learn to split personalities as if they were her friends. For this child would endure physical violence from birth and being strangled at the hands of her father at 15. She would grow to accept violence as a form of love in her first relationship as a teenager. She is what you would call "unevenly yoked"; mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. But her medical diagnoses list her as being Bipolar 1. Having Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. One who suffers from severe anxiety. One who suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and to cope with the trauma of her life; she suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder. This woman at the age of 40 struggles with the victims in her head, who have endured the trauma of abandonment, sexual violence, and physical torture. It is now time to unite that which has always protected me; me. I am a child searching for the innocence that was stolen from me. I am struggling through my preadolescence phase with sexuality due to the rape and molestations. I am fearful that no one will protect me in my transition to adulthood. I struggle with rage, guilt, and shame in defense of all that has happened to us. It is now that I must unite rather than continue to untie my life as it was. It is time for my healing and restoration. We can no longer live as separate entities; fighting to survive and existing within this body called self.

Imagine being five years old and learning your alphabet in preparation to read. But what happens when rape steals your innocence and sexual and emotional abuse are becoming your only learning tools. Where do you turn to for courage? Who do you turn to for strength? My past is a reflection of who I was and God's Light is a reflection of His future for me. Consider this: the act that connects you to your enemy is control. Forgiveness is squeezing the life out of the control they once had over you and forgiveness is giving yourself permission to heal. When you forgive, you regain all that was stolen from you and you are now in control. Those memories you have harbored in the depths of your soul; forgive and let go.

O'RISE-Overcoming Rape, Incest, Sexual & Emotional Abuse takes you on a self discovery of overcoming the effects of sexual, emotional, physical, and psychological abuse. It is an honest perspective of a survivor and an overcomer.Lord, deliver me from myself and the thoughts that consume me. Deliver me from these feelings of sadness, depression, anger, rage, pain and even suicide. Restore my mind, body and soul, so that I may be a vessel to help others. Never allowing the internal pain to stop the external purpose. Lord, I know this iniquity and affliction was not placed upon my heart as a curse or a statement of punishment on my life. Lord, You knew that I could carry this pain with elegance and grace and through it all, I would glorify Your Name. You have given me divine permission to share my sadness, my depression, and my heart with others; so that they may fight to see the face of God in them and how You will deliver them and restore them to total grace. How many times have you thought about "that moment" in your life? The day when your life changed before your very eyes. How many times has the picture of betrayal been played within the theatre of your heart? Though we may attempt to deny to ourselves that it never happened, the heart doesn't lie and the scars may never fade away. So in truth we say, "Yes, it happened". It happened to you, it happened to me, it happened to your sister, it happened to my mother, and yes it may have happened to your daughter. Twenty-eight years ago my life changed forever. I questioned who gave them permission to come in and steal my life, my innocence and my childhood. My innocence was entrusted to a caregiver. I was left broken, destroyed, lost and confused. My innocence was ripped from my very being. The foundation of who I am was changed forever. Where was my deliverance? Until we can call out those things that have haunted us emotionally, tortured us physically, and burdened us mentally; we can never be truly delivered. So today in agreement with you; my brothers and my sisters, I speak Deliverance for the child in me who was raped, the child in me who was molested, for the child in me who experienced incest, and for the woman in me who has endured physical and emotional abuse. Knowing that until I have given what has happened to me a name and a face, it will continue to live and grow in me as a cancer within my body. Today, I claim deliverance not only for me, but for you. Father, guide us into Your Image.

Contending that early modern fictional portrayals of sexual violence identify the position of the author with that of the chaste woman threatened with rape, Amy Greenstadt challenges the prevalent scholarly view that this period's concept of 'The Author' was inherently masculine. Instead, she argues, the analogy between rape and writing centrally informed ideas of literary intention that emerged during the English Renaissance. Analyzing works by Milton, Sidney, Shakespeare and Cavendish, Greenstadt shows how the figure of 'The Author' - and by extension ideas of the modern individual--derived from a paradigm of female virtue and vulnerability. This volume supplements the growing body of studies that address the relationship between early modern textual representation and notions of gender and sexuality; it also adds a new dimension in considering the wider origins of modern concepts of selfhood and individual rights.
