Speak written by Laurie Halse Anderson published by Speak in 1999. This is a story of Melinda a freshman who was raped at a high school party during the summer. Now she must face what really happened and the hateful stares, whishperings, and scorn she receives from people in high school for calling the cops and breaking up the party. Melinda has a hard time telling people what happened to her, her parents don't even know. Speak is a compelling heartfelt story of one young woman's fight to overcome the rape and to finally be able to talk about it.
