A closed case is not the same as an ending.
Body of Proof
Complete manuscript · Seeking representation
After disclosing years of childhood sexual abuse, a girl endures a terrifying police interview—and then hears nothing. Nearly two decades later, she returns to her hometown to find out why her case disappeared. What begins as a search for one missing record becomes an investigation into the systems that taught a child to carry the blame for what adults failed to do.
Moving between personal narrative and legal investigation, Body of Proof asks what responsibility looks like when the official record is incomplete—and what happens when the child at the center of that record grows into an adult responsible for another young person's disclosure.
Representation inquiries“What counts as large-scale abuse anymore? Ten children? Hundreds, if the hundreds are spread across enough decades and enough buildings?”
