- Book Synopsis
- 'Saving Five is an extraordinarily moving account of Amanda Nguyen's pursuit of justice and healing for herself and for millions of survivors around the world' Melinda French Gates Astronaut and civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen's life was changed forever when she was sexually assaulted as a student at Harvard. Determined not to let her assault derail her goal of joining NASA, Nguyen opted for her rape kit to be filed under 'Jane Doe'. But she was shocked to learn her choice to stay anonymous gave her only six months before the state destroyed her kit. Nguyen knew then that she had two options: surrender to a law that effectively denied her justice, or fight for a change - not only for herself but for survivors everywhere. A heart-wrenching memoir of survival, Saving Five weaves the story of Nguyen's activism with a second, beautifully imagined adventure of Nguyen's younger selves as they navigate through her path toward healing. This is a ground-breaking work that traces Nguyen's moving journey of acceptance and hope. From one of the most influential activists and astronauts of her time, Saving Five is a tribute to resilience, a celebration of healing through action and a resounding cry to change the world.
