Rape Recovery Center Book Discussion

Take the time to grab Angela Shelton’s 2008 book Finding Angela Shelton, a companion to her 2001 movie, Searching for Angela Shelton, where she met with women across the Internet who shared both her name and a story of sexual abuse. The Salt Lake City Rape Recovery Center will host a discussion on the book and movie with a panel featuring a psychologist, as well as a male and female survivor of sexual abuse. You don’t need to have read the book or seen the movie to join in the discussion, but it is encouraged.
