Unleaving
(Book)

After being sexually assaulted by a football star, Maggie drops out of college but cannot escape the fact that everyone blames her for what happened.

After surviving an assault at an off-campus party, Maggie is escaping her college town. Because her reporting the crime led to the expulsion of some popular football athletes, many people -- in particular, the outraged Tigers fans -- are happy to see her go. Moving in with her Aunt Wren, a sculptor who lives in an isolated cabin bordered by nothing but woods and water, Maggie wants to forget, heal, and hide. But the trauma Maggie hoped to leave behind has followed her: flashbacks, insomnia and a sense of panic. Maggie receives emails from another student who was raped on the campus, but as she musters the courage to answer her emails, the young woman goes silent. -- adapted from jacket
