[Non]disclosure (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781772603927)

A young girl is abused by her Catholic priest. For years she tells no one, striving to meet her parents and teachers' expectations that she be a Good Girl--passive, obedient, and devout.

When she learns as an adult that she was not his only victim--there were dozens more--the ensuing criminal trial threatens to overwhelm her. Disassembled by the abuse, she finds community working in an underground hospice for men dying from the still-taboo HIV-AIDS epidemic of the 1980s. In their midst, she recognizes the damage wrought by shame and silence, but she also finds incredible courage and love.

A profound story of finding your voice and healing what feels irrevocably broken.
