Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Ciao Giulia is a raw, gutsy verbal performance that captures the reality of rape in ways you can't imagine. Through the writing of a sparkling storyteller, we learn that healing comes from confrontation and psycho-physical penance. The sisterhood that nurtures Giulia back to humanness is a testament to women's power to affect change in unique ways. There's no writer like Chickie Farella.Fred L.
