Book Description: 'It is unusual to be charmed and horrified by alternate sentences, but this is Abi Grant's gift as a writer . I cried, I laughed and then I cheered!' Julian Clary: Everything in Abi Grant's life changed the night a serial rapist broke into her flat and attacked her in her sleep. She fought back and the police were called, but despite a full investigation, they found nothing - even Crimewatch couldn't help. Traumatized, she lost her job, then her flat. She took to drink. Her world fell apart.: But the police didn't give up, and twelve years later - after re-examining the evidence - they found a fingerprint match . Justice demanded that she go to trial to convict a violent criminal but, despite being a blameless victim, the extraordinary court battle that followed would change her life all over again.: Words Can Describe is the tale of one woman's descent into despair, her journey back to hope, and the extraordinary people she met along the way. Abi's words - often bitingly funny and always brutally honest - tell her remarkably moving story in her own powerful voice.: 'Vivid, frank and courageous . Many women will be grateful to Abi Grant for telling the truth at, I imagine, some cost to herself' Joan Smith : Review: 'Straight-talking and very moving, this is a book all women should read.': --Coleen Nolan: 'When something terrible happens, says Abi Grant, people say Words cannot describe how I feel. Well something terrible happened to Grant. A serial rapist broke into her flat and attacked her. Here, she describes, with admirable clarity, how it makes her feel. She tells us about the stages of suffering - the assault - the aftermath, the investigation, the telling of other people. She shows how one event casts a shadow over many years. She demonstrates the descriptive power of words.' : --William Leith, Evening Standard : Review: 'No sign of self-pity after 16 years of pain. Resolutely anti-miserable.': -- Size: 13 x 1.7 x 19.7 cm. 250 pages. Multiple copies available this title. Quantity Available: 2. Category: Biography & Autobiography; Paperback; ISBN: 0330518356.
