Now she may have to be judge, jury, and executioner as well.When a student with a hijab and a strong Chechen accent confides in Rowena about a tricky sexual assault case and asks for her help, Rowena cant say noagain. Being the only Russian professor on campus, as well as the faculty member students go to for help, has its advantages. But the disadvantages can be deadly.After a tragic incident last semester, Rowena is trying to get her career back on track, not to mention her love life. With her Russian ex-fiancé Dima supposedly out of the picture, Rowena is hoping to build a future across the country in California with her American boyfriend Alex.But the past has a nasty habit of coming back to haunt you. When Aishat Aslanbekova comes to Rowena with her suspicions that she was drugged and assaulted at a frat party, Rowena finds herself forced to confront her own demons as well as Aishats.With Aishat making accusations against the colleges star quarterback and posterchild for diversity, Rowena doesnt know which will be more heartbreaking: finding out that Aishat is lying, or finding out shes telling the truth. Either way, both Aishat and the men she says assaulted her are in danger of an honor killing at the hands of Aishats family. Rowena believes in non-violence. Non-violence may not believe in her.Content warning: Along with the kind of adult language you should expect from mouthy undergrads and battle-scarred Iraq vets, this book also contains a serious discussion of racism, Islamophobia, economic injustice, PTSD, and sexual assault. Youve been warned.This audiobook also contains the bonus companion novella Spring Break.Contact: [email protected]
