As she moves through the world navigating banal, familiar, and sometimes uncomfortable interactions with the familiar-faced strangers she sees daily, Williams weaves together a riveting collection of flashbacks. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Williams recollections highlight the indefinable moments when lines are crossed and a woman must ask herself if the only way to avoid being objectified is to simply cease drawing any attention to her physical being. She delves into the gray space that lives between consent and assault and tenderly explores the complexity of the shame, guilt, vulnerability, and responsibility attached to both. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eCommute\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"This sharp and splendidly drawn memoir will strike a strong chord in the current moment. \" --\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly, \u003c\/i\u003estarred review \u003cbr\u003e \"One day's commute offers time for the author to reflect on sexual predators, alcoholism, and the experiences she understands better now than she did at the time. . . .
