Like Nothing Happened

“In this unflinching memoir disguised as a novel, Jake Ranney recounts his experience with sexual assault, institutional betrayal, and the long fight for justice. Written first as private journal entries, this story evolved into a lifeline—for himself and others who’ve been told to stay silent.”

  • Trauma & Memory: How the mind preserves—and distorts—painful details.

  • Justice & Failure: The legal system’s cracks, where victims fall through.

  • Survival as Rebellion: Why speaking up is an act of defiance.

*This book contains explicit descriptions of sexual violence and its aftermath. Reader discretion advised. If you need support, visit our Resources page.
