For anyone who has survived sexual violence - or loves someone who has - this is the book that lights the way.
Walking home from another long waitressing shift, the author was jumped at her apartment door and raped on her roommate's flowery sheets. She was 24, new to New York, and chasing ambition. In an instant, everything changed.
The Year After is the intimate, day-by-day account of what came next - doctors and detectives, a surprising arrest, the lineup, a grand jury testimony, the sentencing - but the far messier, less linear work of emotional survival is the heart of the story. There are friendships that fractured, therapy that saved her, and a long, turbulent search for a self she might recognize.
Inspired by original journal entries and written with unflinching honesty and unsinkable spirit, this memoir weaves the raw immediacy of that first year with reflections from childhood and two decades beyond. Now a psychotherapist, Warner brings a quietly forward-looking perspective to her younger self's journey through volatility, grief, and hard-won clarity.
The Year After is for survivors who need to know recovery is possible, for loved ones trying to understand the unimaginable, and for anyone who has faced life-changing upheaval and asked: Where have I been - and who am I now?
Empowering, literary, and deeply human - this is a memoir that stays with you.
The Year After Journal, a guided companion for survivors and anyone navigating life-changing upheaval, is available separately.Also in
