Before and After (Memoir), Los Angeles, CA
Before and After follows my coming-of-age MeToo story as I fall in love while struggling with PTSD, mend wounds with family, and navigate the deeply flawed legal system.
“Through Before and After, I wish challenge our conceptions of healing, justice, and liberation for Asian American victims of sexual violence.”
