Words Can Describe is the tale of one woman’s descent into despair, her journey back to hope, and the extraordinary people she met along the way. Abi’s words – often bitingly funny and always brutally honest – tell her remarkably moving story in her own powerful voice.
‘It is unusual to be charmed and horrified by alternate sentences, but this is Abi Grant’s gift as a writer . . . I cried, I laughed and then I cheered!’ Julian Clary
Everything in Abi Grant’s life changed the night a serial rapist broke into her flat and attacked her in her sleep. She fought back and the police were called, but despite a full investigation, they found nothing – even Crimewatch couldn’t help. Traumatized, she lost her job, then her flat. She took to drink. Her world fell apart.
But the police didn’t give up, and twelve years later – after re-examining the evidence – they found a fingerprint match . . Justice demanded that she go to trial to convict a violent criminal but, despite being a blameless victim, the extraordinary court battle that followed would change her life all over again.
‘Vivid, frank and courageous . . . Many women will be grateful to Abi Grant for telling the truth at, I imagine, some cost to herself’ Joan Smith
