Alexis Singer
Dear Librarian: I'm here to share my story of a terrible relationship I had in high school. The Internet is an amazing tool, but sometimes it can be dangerous. I learned that when I was sixteen and an older man decided to take advantage of me. This happens to kids all the time, but you rarely hear about it from the people it happens to. As tough as it was to talk about, I decided to write about my emotionally and sexually abusive relationship with a guy I met online hoping it would keep it from happening to someone else or could help someone it had already happened to. I hope my book is both enjoyable and helpful! Read an excerpt and find out about the other Louder Than Words teen-authored memoirs at www.louderthanwordsbooks.com.
