I Have the Right To: a High School Survivor's story of Sexual Assault, Justice, and Hope/Chessy Prout/404 pgs.

Chessy Prout was looking forward to her freshman year at St. Paul's School, a prestigious, co-ed boarding school in New Hampshire, for high school students. Chessy's father was an alum, and her older sister, Lucy, would be a senior; it should have been an ideal situation. It wasn't brought to the public's attention that St. Paul's was hiding, and abetting, a culture conducive to rape. Chessy courageously blew the whistle on them when she became a victim of the practice known as the "Senior Salute." She brought charges against Owen Labrie, a senior at the time, and a fair haired boy of St. Paul's. The school closed ranks, and tried to make it all go away. It's a difficult read, and sadly, a story that is all too common these days. Recommended.
