Lindsay Gloade-Raining Bird

This was such a powerful memoir, told through such an intimate tone that Chanel Miller felt like a friend, sister. I had followed the Brock Turner trial in real time as outraged as anyone else at the media spin and then the leniency. And I remember the day her victim statement was published and how it hit me in the gut. I felt privileged to share space in Chanel’s mind and memory, her strength throughout that traumatization and retraumatization, her poise and will, every moment was inspiring. I read this right after Catch and Kill and then moved on to watch The Morning Show. It was a lot. But her voice was such a light in the darkness. I’m so glad she chose to write this book and share her name with the world.
