A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is grappling with the aftermath of a boundary violation, a loss of voice, or the betrayal of trust by a respected adult. It is a vital resource for navigating the complex feelings of shame and isolation that often follow trauma, especially within tight-knit communities. The story follows sixteen year old Amina as she finds the strength to speak her truth after being assaulted by a charismatic pastor, a journey that explores the intersection of faith, family expectations, and personal agency. While the subject matter is intense, this verse novel provides a compassionate roadmap for reclamation and healing. It is most appropriate for older teens who are ready for honest discussions about consent and institutional power. Parents might choose this to validate their child's experiences or to begin a necessary dialogue about bodily autonomy and the courage it takes to be heard.
