I Choose Elena PDF Author: Lucia Osborne-Crowley
Publisher: Allen & Unwin
ISBN: 1760873772
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 113

Book Description
Aged fifteen and on track to be an Olympic gymnast, Lucia Osborne-Crowley was violently raped in Sydney on a night out, sparking a series of events that left her devastatingly ill for more than ten years of her life. Her path to healing began a decade later, when she told someone about her rape for the very first time. Lucia eventually found solace in writers like Elena Ferrante, and her work is about rediscovering vulnerability and resilience in the face of formerly unbearable trauma. The author explores what has been proved, but is not yet widely known, about how trauma affects the body, bringing to our attention its cyclical, intergenerational nature; how trauma intersects with deeply held beliefs about the credibility of women; and how trauma is played out again and again in the fabric of our cultures, governments, judicial systems and relationships. 'If you buy one book today let it be this one...It moved me to tears and to anger.' - Daisy Johnson, author of Everything Under 'This book is burrowed deep under my skin.' - Jessica Andrews, author of Saltwater

Elena Torres has it all. As a successful soccer star playing for the Denver Defiant, she has money, fame, and, best of all, gets to do her favorite thing for a living. Sure, she's also a 31-year-old divorcée, has no idea how to go about dating again, and is still deciding how open to be about her recent autism diagnosis. But she's dealing. Then Harper Wright arrives back in town, and Elena is surprised to discover she has more in common with her best friend's little sister than she'd ever imagined. And now she can't seem to get those messy red curls and bright smiles out of her mind… Harper Wright has a Plan with a capital P. Step one, get her new board game café up and running successfully. Step two, cook more often (aka, stop subsisting entirely on muffins from the vegan bakery next door). Step three, stop thinking about Elena Torres, no matter how amazing her arms look in a tank top. Or that she's starting to look at Harper in a way Harper had only dreamed of back when Elena was her super secret bisexual awakening in high school. Starting something with Elena would be a disaster waiting to happen, but it's getting harder and harder to remember why. After all, they're grown-ups now. Elena isn't looking for anything serious, but Harper will just have to be careful not to let her heart get involved… The Game Changer is a friends-to-lovers sapphic romance featuring an #ownvoices portrayal of autism and an unapologetically queer supporting cast. It is the first book in the Denver Defiant series. [Keywords: wlw romance, ff romance, lesfic, lesbian romance, autistic romance, sports romance, woso romance, women's soccer]
