Break Even

About the Book

When her best friend, Jenna, is raped on the University of Nebraska campus during her senior year, the event brings back all the horror of Kathleen’s own rape that took place on the same campus four years before. As Kathleen struggles to support her friend during the difficult aftermath, she is determined that the only way either of them can “Break Even,” is not to allow the pain and humiliation of the events to ruin the rest of their lives.

While Jenna’s approach to overcoming the trauma is quite different from Kathleen’s, each learns in her own way that through the love and compassion they have for each other, it is possible to overcome anything.
