“You know what I think,” the psychiatrist said. “I think he came to represent all the men you’d known in your life.”

Most of a persons background after a crime is unknown. Like how since Eva was a girl there was always a man, and in some instances a boy, that was always trying to get a feel of what’s between her legs. And her being told about the predator in the neighborhood, being felt up by strangers, and even those men that we’re supposed to have been protectors of her innocence.
⚡️
The story starts with Eva being in a psychiatric facility, being silent to her psychiatrist. Eva refuses to tell her side of the story. Though she does speak some to her cellmate. As the story unfolds, the reader is able to see all of the predatory moments Eva endured. Every moment shaped her and ultimately landed her in this position.
