Now I Speak: From Stalked to Standing Up

On November 4th, 2011, in Port Townsend, Washington, Anna Nasset was creating a window display after hours at the art gallery she proudly called her own. When a man appeared before her with a painting under his arm, Anna experienced the briefest moment of hesitation before opening her door-and her world-to a man who would stop at nothing in his attempts to tear her life apart from that moment forward. That is, until Anna decided to stand up and fight back. Now a fierce public advocate for creating awareness around the crime of stalking that controlled her every move for the better part of a decade, Anna shares her experience as a survivor of stalking in a ruthless fight for justice in Now I Speak. Told through a series of flashbacks, first-person narration, and evidence from the landmark case that saw her stalker receive one of the longest sentences for the crime in U.S. history, Now I Speak delves even deeper into Anna's personal past to uncover a history of abuse and vulnerability, each experience adding fuel to the fire of Anna's determination. Anna's debut memoir provides a clear call to action: It's time to stand up to stalking.
