#30DaysofSAAM Day 1: Something Teal

I started writing after the NCIS interview. I knew I needed to remember the details of the assault for trial. What started as my victim statement grew into a full length book of the struggles seeking legal justice in a military system. I take a yearly trip, flying on the day of the assault, and surround myself with loved ones I don't see often. In 2014, I found this book necklace at a little shop in San Diego. My book One Of Us is with the copy editor and I can't wait to get it back! 

Take Photo. Meet Krakauer. Win His book. Finish Your Own.

I won the End Violence Against Women International (EVAWI) photo of the day yesterday for capturing the crowd listening to Dr. David Lisak. Last night, I took a photo with Jon Krakauer who wrote "Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a College Town." I picked up the prize for the photo challenge and it was a hard copy of Krakauer's book!! I can only hope that my book "One of Us" about going through the military judicial system as a civilian/Peace Corps Volunteer will some day be on the shelves with his.
