Reviews for One Hour in Paris
"Freedman's terrifying and shattering story, One Hour in Paris, reveals the devastating truth about rape-that it is not confined to one terrible moment, but it determines and shapes a lifetime. If you want to understand why we need to do everything in our power to end rape, read this book." (Eve Ensler, author of The Vagina Monologues)"
