Girls Play Dead by Jen Percy
Girls Play Dead is a narrative nonfiction exploration of womanhood, trauma, and survival. Blending memoir, reporting, and cultural history, the book traces the author’s childhood and personal experiences alongside stories of women who respond to danger by freezing, joining cults, preparing bunkers, or taking desperate action. It examines how people become trapped by abuse and fear, and the psychological and social forces that shape — and sometimes free — their responses to violence.
