Notes on a Silencing is a great book by Lacy Crawford.
A “powerful, terrifying, important, and true” memoir about a young woman’s struggle to regain her sense of self after trauma, and the efforts of a mighty boarding school in New York. New England aims to silence her.

When Notes of Silence hit bookstores in the summer of 2020, even amid a global pandemic, it sent shockwaves across the country. This intimate memoir not only unleashed a storm of media coverage, but it also caused St. Elite Paul must issue a formal apology to the author, Lacy Crawford, for handling her report on the sexual assault of two students almost 30 years ago.

In this poignant book, Crawford tells the story of moving forward in a state investigation into New England’s elite prep school decades after her attack, only to find corroborating evidence for the first time. her memories. These are descriptions of the naive, hardworking girl she once was, as well as startling evidence of institutional silence. The slander, insinuation and lack of adult care that Crawford experienced as a student were unimaginable; they are the actions of a school that values ​​its reputation more than anything, even a child.

This revelation leads Crawford on an extraordinary investigation that delves into gender, privilege and power, and how shame and guilt are used to silence victims.

This book is one of the best autobiography I have ever read. It’s a beautifully written story about a terrible event that happened to a 15-year-old girl at a top private boarding school in New Hampshire. It explores how this event affected her entire life and how a powerful private school denies all responsibility and blames the victim to the point where she questions her very existence. me. It perfectly describes how the legal system protects the very rich and punishes the innocent.
