Gail has to face this big one alone. Her best friend tries to convince her that the obscene notes are to be ignored. The school counselor tries to excuse the obscene phone calls as adolescent pranks. The policeman insinuates that she must have lured on the guy who gave her the concussion. Gail finds her ancient theater teacher sympathetic and goes on accusing her attacker. This is a scary, gripping account of one girl's reaction to rape.
