What is marriage without true love? What is sex without respect? If an independent woman falls in the woods, will misogynists hear it at the farthest distance? After a childhood of fatherly abandonment and emotional abuse, a high school student finds the parents she always wanted, her boyfriend's parents. The boy seems stable, his upbringing was loving, and he knows how to smile. The family is everything she wanted, and after he is unfaithful, she hangs on in hopes that he will change and she will never have to face uncertainty again. Nine years later, she has no choice but to evaluate her life and marriage after disaster strikes. Is feminism dead, or is the battle for civil rights waiting to be discovered by a new generation? The story of one is a story of many. He-Slut: A Memoir follows one woman's decade of growing up, learning who she is, and becoming that person. This is a story of love that never was and discovering what it's like to love oneself.
