Description: **At fifteen, Andrea Cranston has everything -- good friends, a loving family, a summer job, a boyfriend. But her world falls apart in an instant *-- she is raped.*** Not only is she shocked by the physical violation, she is hurt by her family's reaction as well. Now, when Andrea needs their support more than ever, her mother is silent and distant, her father angry, her friends uneasy and uncomfortably curious. **Never has Andrea felt more alone.** **Somehow she must come to terms with the ordeal and struggle to raise her self-image.**
