SYNOPSIS:

Twenty-one years ago, Emma Shephard was sexually assaulted and forced to leave college. She has tried to forget the trauma, building a new life as a loving wife and parent with a successful marketing career. Then her world is rocked when her rapist buys the pharmaceutical company where she works. Now it's an impossible choice between keeping the safe life she's created and pursuing justice. With her marriage at risk and her child in danger, Emma finds herself at the center of ugly secrets and scandals.

REVIEW/THOUGHTS:

Emma Shepherd was raped when she was in college and despite reporting the incident, she ended up being removed from the University. Despite all the trauma and hours of therapy, she was able to rebuild her life. She is in a happy marriage with a loving husband and daughter. Everything seemed to be going smoothly until the Pharmaceutical company where Emma and her husband works for gets bought by a man whose name is far too familiar to Emma and one, she will never ever forget. With her past staring in front of her face, she vows that this time, she will win and get her revenge.

This is a fast-paced suspense with an unexpected twist that I loved and enjoyed. I am glad to read something in the vein of the #metoo movement and giving voice to those who have had to suffer through trauma. Despite this being a fictional story, I am certain that there are many people currently that have been silenced that have suffered and are hurting and whose voices have yet to be heard. I applaud Elena Mikalsen for writing this story for ‘ALL THE SILENT VOICES’.
