Description

On Easter Eve, 1991, the normalcy of 76-year-old Florence Holway's rural life came to a shocking, abrupt end when a 26-year-old intruder broke in to her home and brutally raped her. The horrifying attack marked the beginning of the New Hampshire artist and grandmother's 12-year struggle to bring her rapist to justice--and bring change to a flawed legal system.
