After Silence: Rape & My Journey Back
ISBN: 9780609804193 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Silence has the rusty taste of shame.

And it seems to me now that these words, the brutish message of tyrants, preserve the darkness that still covers this pervasive crime. The real shame, as I have learned, is to consent to them."...
