In 'Notes on a Silencing,' Lacy Crawford delivers a poignant memoir that revisits her harrowing experience at a prestigious New England boarding school, where she was sexually assaulted by fellow students. The memoir unfolds with Crawford confronting the trauma she suffered decades earlier, emboldened by the school's recent investigation for sexual abuse. As Crawford participates in the inquiry, she uncovers irrefutable evidence that not only corroborates her account but also reveals deliberate efforts by the institution to protect its reputation at the expense of a vulnerable child. The book offers a profound exploration into the dynamics of gender, privilege, and power, and questions the societal norms that allow victims' voices to be suppressed. With meticulous detail and emotional precision, Crawford crafts a narrative that is as much a personal tale of survival and healing as it is an indictment of the systemic silence imposed on survivors.
