OLDER FICTION
Ostrom, Melissa

Unleaving

(3) YA Ostrom effectively dramatizes the repercussions of trauma in this carefully drawn account of life after sexual assault. After surviving a rape, Maggie has no desire to return to college, especially since her reporting of the crime has resulted in ostracization by some campus social groups. Moving in with her aunt leaves Maggie isolated and ill-equipped to recover, until she recognizes a professional calling that might enable her to move forward.
