Excerpt from "Now I Speak"

 

"Now I speak. Now I give over the words. It’s not that there is anything particularly significant about my life. I’ve experienced what countless others have experienced—a lifetime of gender-based violence, which, for me, happened to be at the hands of men. I’m not special; I’m not unique. I am set apart in that I have the privilege to share my story when millions of others cannot. My only hope is that my words will allow others to not only have a voice but have a life."

On November 4th, 2011, in Port Townsend, Washington, Anna Nasset was creating a window display after hours at the art gallery she proudly called her own. When a man appeared before her with a painting under his arm, Anna experienced the briefest moment of hesitation before opening her door—and her world—to a man who would stop at nothing in his attempts to tear her life apart from that moment forward. That is, until Anna decided to stand up and fight back.


Now a fierce public advocate for creating awareness around the discreet crime that controlled her every move for the better part of a decade, Anna shares her experience as a survivor of stalking in a ruthless fight for justice in Now I Speak.


Told through a series of flashbacks, first-person narration, and evidence from the landmark case that saw her stalker receive one of the longest sentences for the crime in U.S. history, Now I Speak delves even deeper into Anna’s personal past to uncover a history of abuse and vulnerability, each experience adding fuel to the fire of Anna’s determination.
