Dylan has lived through the unfathomable: three years as a victim of sex trafficking as a teen. Now years later--long after a police investigation that went nowhere with the domestic life he built to survive--the Child Victims Act opens up a way forward: a one-year window to sue past abusers, but once the lookback window starts, Dylan seeks answers everywhere: in the druggy reveries of Fire Island to the love-drunk strangers of summer nights downtown and the lawyers who watch over the park, finally emerging from an erotic and violent spiral with a new clarity of purpose: a righteous determination to gaze, unflinching, upon the brutal men whose faces have haunted him for a decade, and to extract justice on his own terms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKyle Dillon Hertz is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Lookback Window\u003c\/i\u003e, a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003eEditors' Choice.
