Rotarian Peggy Durbin reviewed the book ‘Speak’ by Laurie Halse Anderson at the July 2 meeting of the Club. Speak is a young adult novel that tells the story of a high school student’s rape, recovery and confession. After being raped at a party, she is ostracized by her peers because she will not say why she called the police. Unable to verbalize what happened, the teenager nearly stops speaking altogether, expressing her voice through the art she produces in an art class. This expression slowly helps her acknowledge that she was raped, face her attacker and recreate her identity. Photo by Carol A. Clark/ladailypost.com
