Rape by Joyce Carol Oates
A Love Story
After a brutal assault in a Niagara Falls park, a mother and her young daughter struggle against a hostile legal system and a community quick to blame the victim. Told through the wary eyes of the child, the story follows their ordeal as intimidation and smear tactics undermine the case, while a hardened police officer becomes an unlikely guardian. When the courts falter, he takes justice into his own hands, forcing a stark confrontation with trauma, vengeance, and the uneasy costs of protection and healing.
