Discovery by Sherry A Burton

What's really happening behind closed doors on America's college campuses?

A new sexual revolution is sweeping the country, and college students are on the front lines. Women use fresh, smart methods to fight entrenched sexism and sexual assault even as they celebrate their own sexuality as never before. Many woke male students are more sensitive to women's concerns than previous generations ever were, while other men perpetuate the most cruel misogyny. Amid such apparent contradictions, it's no surprise that intense confusion shrouds the topic of sex on campus.

Vanessa Grigoriadis dispels that confusion as no other writer could by traveling to schools large and small, embedding in their social whirl, and talking candidly with dozens of students - among them, both accusers and accused-- as well as administrators, parents, and researchers. Her unprecedented investigation presents a host of new truths. She reveals which times and settings are most dangerous for women (for instance, beware the red zone); she demystifies the welter of conflicting statistics about the prevalence of campus rape; she makes a strong case that not all sexual assault is equivalent; and she offers convincing if controversial advice on how schools, students, and parents can make college a safer, richer experience. The sum of her fascinating, fly-on-the-wall reportage is a revelatory account of how long-standing rules of sex and power are being rewritten from scratch.

Born in Louisville, Sherry A. Burton was raised in the small town of Fairdale, Kentucky. Eloping December of 1980 while still in her teens, she has spent all of her adult life moving from state to state counting over thirty-two moves in her thirty-four years of marriage. Sherry can attest first-hand to the fact that a whirlwind marriage can indeed last. Sherry credits her frequent moves and long separations to her ability to feel her characters' desire to find true happiness. Sherry has worked as a private nanny and is a certified dog trainer. She is the mother of three adult children and has six wonderful grandchildren. Her hobbies include reading, walking, Pilates, and spending time with her friends which is how she refers to the characters she creates. She believes in daily affirmations, positive energy and feels that karma will have the final say. Sherry A. Burton currently resides in Pennsylvania, and has several other books in the works, including a sequel to Tears of Betrayal. Other books by Sherry A. Burton The King of My Heart Somewhere In My Dreams (re-release of The Scars Between Us) Surviving the Storm, book #1 of the Storm Trilogy. Whispers of the Past (a short story)
