Exposed / Kimberly Marcus / 260 pages

"Like an unprotected photograph, some friendships fade.  People grow apart, lose touch, unravel."  This is not what happened to BFF's Kate and Liz.  Their friendship is torn asunder by the rape of Kate by Mike, Liz's college age brother, at a sleep-over at their house.  "Told in stunning, searingly raw free verse,"  Exposed explores the aftershocks of the rape accusations and trial as Liz's world shift out of focus and everything she thought she knew about - photography, family, friends, and herself - is called into question.  This is an amazing cautionary tale with resources.

"When you trust your point of view, that's when you start taking pictures."
