But it also demonstrates one young woman’s strength as she navigates the disappointment and unbearable pains of adolescence, of first love and first heartbreak, of friendships broken and rebuilt, and while learning to embrace a power of survival she never knew she had hidden within her heart. Told in four parts-freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior year-this provocative debut reveals the deep cuts of trauma. Nothing makes sense anymore, and she knows she’s supposed to tell someone what happened but she can’t. What she thought she knew to be true, is now lies. What Eden once loved-who she once loved-she now hates. But the night her brother’s best friend rapes her, Eden’s world capsizes. Starting high school didn’t change who she was. ABOUT THE BOOK In the tradition of SPEAK, this extraordinary debut novel “is a poignant book that realistically looks at the lasting effects of trauma on love, relationships, and life” (School Library Journal, starred review).

Throughout the first couple months of Anderson’s vow of chastity, she struggles to have a non-physical relationship with men. The book offers a profound argument on the female psyche and libido, allowing women to look at their own relationships and see that maybe they didn’t work out because they were blinded by the idea of love and that sex has become a counterpart in relationship woes. She mostly writes that women can live without sex or the co-dependency of a male, but that life would be better with it. This revelation sparks the beginning of her experimentation as she vows to date and write about defining the difference between love and sex and what a relationship can succumb to without intimacy.Īnderson’s book is far from a lecture on feminism. “Sex and its pursuit seem to have become such blood sports, their rules so confusing and their standards so exacting, that it is hard not to wonder occasionally whether it’s worth it,” Anderson said.

Popular divination faced centuries of elite condemnation, as the Lutheran clergy attempted to suppress these practices in the wake of the Reformation and learned elites sought to eradicate them during the Enlightenment. Jason Phillip Coy brings their enchanted world to life by examining theological discourse alongside archival records of prosecution for popular divination in Thuringia, a diverse region in central Germany divided into a patchwork of princely territories, imperial cities, small towns, and rural villages. German villagers regularly consulted these fortune-tellers and practiced divination in their everyday lives. Fixtures of village life, they identified thieves and witches, read palms, and cast horoscopes. In early modern Germany, soothsayers known as wise women and men roamed the countryside.
