Liar Laurie

"Both timely and timeless, Liar Laurie is the powerful and heart-wrenching true story of one young woman on her journey to become a survivor instead of a victim, to choose life instead of death, truth instead of shame. Readers will undoubtedly find pieces of themselves in the pages of this bold, honest, and unvarnished memoir--I cannot recommend this book highly enough." - Amber Smith, New York Times bestselling author of The Way I Used to Be and The Last to Let Go When Laurie went to college in Chicago, she was all set to embark on a new life. But on the third weekend of her freshman year, Laurie was raped. And everything changed. In the aftermath, Laurie reached out for help. But she didn't get any. Friends didn't believe her. The dean didn't support her. Laurie had to fight not just for justice but for understanding. For validation. Laurie could have dropped out of college, she could have given up, but she carried on. And not even seeing her attacker on campus could stop her. Laurie's story is an all-too familiar account of how the fight for justice is repeated in campuses and courtrooms around the world. Laurie never got the justice she deserved. But she got something else - a resolute sense of her own self, and her own strength. Laurie's #MeToo story is a testament to the strength and courage of people who have been wronged, but never stop fighting back

„Atat in timp cat si atemporal, Liar Laurie este povestea adevarata si puternica a unei tinere in calatoria ei de a deveni supravietuitoare in loc de victima, de a alege viata in loc de moarte, adevar in loc de rusine. Cititorii vor gasi, fara indoiala, piese de ei insisi in paginile acestui memoriu indraznet, onest si nevarnic - nu pot recomanda aceasta carte suficient de mult. " - Amber Smith, autorul bestseller-ului New York Times al cartii The Way I Used to Be si The Last to Let Go Cand Laurie a mers la facultate in Chicago, era pregatita sa se angajeze intr-o noua viata.
