Second Assault is a raw, second-person memoir about surviving childhood sexual abuse, and the ongoing harm that unfolds long after the first assault ends. It explores not just the personal impact of trauma, but the “Second Assault” of systemic failures: the broken institutions, misplaced blame, and silences that deepen the wounds.
Told with haunting honesty and unflinching detail, it takes you inside the lived experience of navigating a body and mind shaped by trauma, while fighting to be seen, heard, and believed.
