In this story told through poetry, a brutal assault throws a teenage girl into adulthood and onto a path or promiscuity and abusive relationships. When the woman finally finds the courage to say no to abuse and submission, she faces herself and discovers her own worth.
“Kathie Giorgio’s When You Finally Said No arrives at the right time. These poems are mirror and microphone both, as the words stretch to find language to speak what has previously been unspeakable, to tell stories that have before been hushed, shushed and shamed away.”
–Sarah Sadie, author of We Are Traveling Through Dark at Tremendous Speeds
