How do victims of sex crimes endure the torture? What does it mean to be sexually assaulted?
What do they go through? Do they all run or fight? Who helps them through the rape kit exam? 
It is the work of forensic nurse examiners, Special Victims Unit detectives, first responding officers
and advocates. When justice is assumed to be served through a guilty verdict or a guilty plea,
often justice is not enough for healing.  Healing is about being believed. Healing begins with
whom the victim encounters immediately after the assault. Police, nurses, family and friends listening,
not passing judgement, but by believing will define how well the victim will heal. Delve into Toluidine
(Tol-u-deen) Blue: a novel if you enjoy medical mystery or crime drama, into the dark world of sex
crimes with Adeline Donovan and Rachel Tristin.
