Tracing My Scars from Addiction and Sexual Assault
With New and Updated Content for the #MeToo Era
By Jennifer Storm
In this brutally honest and compelling memoir, survivor and advocate Jennifer Storm revisits the trauma of her childhood rape, her descent into addiction, and her courageous journey into recovery. First published in 2008 as Blackout Girl, this updated edition expands her story with new chapters and insights shaped by the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements—offering even greater relevance and resonance for today’s readers.
After being assaulted at age twelve, Jennifer turned to alcohol and drugs to numb her pain, spiraling into years of substance use, self-harm, and multiple suicide attempts. Recovery finally came when she confronted the secrets she had kept buried, beginning a life of healing, advocacy, and empowerment.
This edition includes:
- Jennifer’s original, raw story of trauma, addiction, and survival.
- New chapters reflecting on societal changes in how survivors are heard and supported.
- A powerful foreword by Caroline Heldman, PhD, survivor advocate and founder of the End Rape Statute of Limitations movement.
- Insights into trauma-informed care and the intersection of victimization and addiction.
💡 Why You’ll Love It:
- A fearless, unflinching memoir that shows recovery and resilience are possible.
- Timely reflections on #MeToo, victim-blaming, and the need for systemic change.
- Inspiring for survivors of sexual assault, people in recovery, and those who support them.
- Includes professional wisdom alongside deeply personal storytelling.
