This Young Adult book takes place in Canada. Hermione Winters is so excited about going to cheerleading camp this year because she and her best friend Polly are the co-captains of their school's squad. However, during a dance Hermione is drugged and raped. She is found at the edge of the lake. She has no memory of the attack nor who the boy was who gave her the drugged drink. With the support of her family and cheerleading squad, she returns to school and as co-captain. Hermione is lucky because she has strong support. Her squad defends her after rumors start spreading about her rape, however, there are many young rape victims who do not have the support like Hermione did. I hope by reading this book, young women would be inspired to help out if a friend is a victim of rape.
