A Balm in Gilead: a Novel Marie Green Mckeon

A woman survives a harrowing assault on a college campus. Ten years later, she is stunned to hear of a chillingly similar murder. This is the story of how a rape victim reluctantly heads down the path she most fears, hoping she can find some measure of justice and, most of all, heal herself. After enduring a sexual assault as a college student--and watching her attacker be brought to trial only to be set free--Quinn Carlisle has managed to put her life back together. A decade later, a young woman is murdered, carved with a knife in the same manner as Quinn suffered in her attack. The news explodes her fragile life but it forces Quinn to make tough choices: stop her attacker once and for all, yet face her demons.
