Saving Five: A Memoir of Hope – Amanda Nguyen’s Inspiring Story of Survival & Activism
🌎✨ A Survivor’s Story. A Fight for Justice. A Memoir That Changes Everything. ✨🌎
From Nobel Peace Prize nominee and renowned activist Amanda Nguyen, Saving Five is a powerful memoir of resilience, survival, and groundbreaking advocacy, chronicling her personal journey from trauma to triumph and the landmark legislation that changed the legal rights of sexual assault survivors across the U.S.
📖 2013 – A Life Forever Changed.
At Harvard University, Amanda Nguyen’s dreams of becoming an astronaut were shattered when she was raped. Determined not to let her assault define her future, she chose to file her rape kit under “Jane Doe”—only to discover that state law allowed it to be destroyed within six months, eliminating her chance for justice.
⚖️ A Choice: Surrender or Fight?
Instead of accepting a system that failed survivors, Nguyen fought for change—not just for herself, but for countless others. Her advocacy led to the unanimous passage of the Sexual Assault Survivors’ Rights Act in 2016, a historic legal victory ensuring survivors' access to justice.
👩🚀 A Memoir Unlike Any Other.
Saving Five uniquely intertwines Nguyen’s real-life activism with a beautifully imagined narrative—following her younger selves at ages 5, 15, 22, and 30, navigating the emotional landscapes of trauma, resilience, and hope.
