A memoir told in poetry and free verse, Laurie Halse Anderson tells a deeply vulnerable and powerful story about her own journey and recovery from sexual assault. 

Shout is a piece that can help teach and comfort readers depending on their own journeys. It is beautiful written and while painful to read at times it is also important to read. Anderson’s voice helps show others they are not alone.
