Anna Leverett is home for her dad's retirement party and counting the days until she can leave. She is sick of being reminded that her life has consisted of wrong turns and dead ends. Then a meeting with her ex-best friend Helen raises unexpected questions about her past: What really happened at that New Year's party back in high school? How true were all those ugly rumours? With Helen at her side, Anna can finally reckon with her past and chart a course towards a better future.

Moving through rape culture, beauty myths, and the perils women face in a society that stigmatizes them just for being female, Other Maps traces a path to courage, solidarity and hope. (From Linda Leith Publishing)
