Why read it?
1 author picked Invisible Girl as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The younger the victim, the more egregious the act seems. This true story is a riveting read.

The book is an insightful look at how hidden pain manifests itself in our current lives regardless of what walls the mind has erected to protect us. Woven into the memoir is helpful advice for survivors, counselors, lawyers, and others working with abuse victims. I was mesmerized.
From S.M.'s list on uplifting stories of sexual abuse and harassment.
