Alisson reclaims her story with parallels to the classic novel Lolita. My heart hurts for the young girl who was taken advantage of and the wisdom she can glean from it. I have never read Lolita but Alisson does a great job of retelling of the plot and the views of the book throughout her years reading it. Im glad that now she can teach this book as a warning sign to young girls. What a power woman she has become.
