- Synopsis
- At once disturbing and empowering, the memoir of a courageous woman who was abused, groomed, and trafficked for sex from age eleven to age sixteen, who then killed her trafficker/father figure and was sentenced as a juvenile to life in prison without parole"I Cried to Dream Again is a must-read for anyone interested not only in the injustice of Juvenile Life Without Parole sentence but also in the strength of the human spirit. Kruzan&’s memoir grips you from its first intense pages and keeps you there through the twists and turns of her rollercoaster story."—Ian Manuel, author of My Time Will Come "I was eleven when I first met GG. I realized later that he had to have been aware of the chaos that was my life because he played me perfectly. I was walking home after school ... I heard a red Mustang purring like a huge lion behind me as I turned onto my block. When it caught up with me, a man leaned out of the window and motioned for me to come closer. 'Hey, excuse me,' he said. I approached the window and politely and cheerfully replied, &‘Yes?&’ He said, 'I&’ve been noticing you a lot, and I just want to talk to you. I&’m gonna go get some ice cream and go to the park. I would love for you to come and join me. We won&’t be gone long. Is that okay with you?' Ice cream! I found his offer irresistible. GG leaned over and opened the passenger door, 'What&’s your name? People call me GG.' 'Sara,' I said shyly.'"—from I Cried to Dream Again
