But she was shocked to learn her choice to stay anonymous gave her only six months to take action before the state destroyed her kit, rendering any future legal action impossible. Nguyen knew then that she had two options: surrender to a law that effectively denied her justice, or fight for a change—not only for herself but for survivors everywhere.<br /> A heart-wrenching memoir of survival and hope, <i>Saving Five</i> boldly braids the story of Nguyen's activism—which resulted in Congress's unanimous passage of the Sexual Assault Survivors' Rights Act in 2016—with a second, beautifully imagined adventure, of Nguyen's younger selves as they—at ages five, fifteen, twenty-two, and thirty—navigate through dramatic incarnations of the emotional stages of her path toward healing, not only from her rape but from the violent turmoil of her childhood. The result is a groundbreaking work that seamlessly blends memoir with a moving journey toward acceptance and hope, forging a path ahead that is as inspiring as it is instructive.<br /> From one of the most influential activists (and now astronauts) of her time, <i>Saving Five</i> is at once a tribute to resilience, a celebration of healing through action, and a resounding cry to change the world.<br /> <b>A Macmillan Audio production from AUWA Books.</b></p>.
