Then a groundbreaking new law–the Child Victims Act–opens up a new way forward: a one-year window during which Dylan can sue his abusers. His continued existence depends upon an all-important mantra: To survive, you live through it, but you never look back. Years later–long after a police investigation that went nowhere, and after the statute of limitations for the crimes perpetrated against him have run out–the long shadow of Dylan’s trauma still looms over the fragile life in the city he’s managed to build with his fiancé, Moans, who knows little of Dylan’s past.

Growing up in suburban New York, Dylan lived through the unfathomable: three years as a victim of sex trafficking at the hands of Vincent, a troubled young man who promised to marry Dylan when he turned eighteen.

A fearless debut novel of resilience, transcendence, and the elusive promise of justice.
