The timeless, fearless, #1 New York Times bestselling memoir from the author of The Lovely Bonesâ€”a powerful account of her sexual assault at the age of eighteen and the harrowing trial that followed, now with a new afterword by the author.

In a memoir hailed for its searing candor, as well as its wit, Alice Sebold reveals how her life was transformed when, as an eighteen-year-old college freshman, she was brutally raped and beaten in a park near campus. What ultimately propels this chronicle of sexual assault and its aftermath is Seboldâ€™s indomitable spirit, as she fights to secure her rapistâ€™s arrest and conviction and comes to terms with a relationship to the world that has forever changed. With over a million copies in print, Lucky has touched the lives of a generation of readers. Sebold illuminates the experience of trauma victims and imparts a wisdom profoundly hard-won: â€œYou save yourself or you remain unsaved.â€ Now reissued with a new afterword by the author, her story remains as urgent as it was when it was first published eighteen years ago.
