In 1992, as a college student in Pittsburgh, Emily Winslow was raped by a stranger. In 2013, she had created a new life in England, with a husband and sons and an established writing career, when her attacker was suddenly identified and arrested. Highly inquisitive and restless for answers, she applied her experience as a crime novelist to a personal investigation. She was thrust into an unexpected prosecution that pulled her between two very different worlds: a hard-boiled American drama of intense detectives and legal bureaucracy, and her rarefied new world in Cambridge, where the university's rituals and pervasive formality were both a comfort and a challenge.
Jane Doe January is the intimate memoir of a woman's traumatic past catching up with her. In her first work of nonfiction, Winslow vividly recounts her long quest to see her case resolved, giving way to a strikingly honest narrative about the surprise possibility of justice after twenty years.
