In Know My Name, Chanel Miller tells us the story of the past four years of her life. You probably know some of it from the headlines: from “Stanford Swimmer to Face Charges for Publicly Raping Unconscious Woman ” to “Here’s the Powerful Letter the Stanford Victim Read to Her Attacker ” to “California Voters Remove Judge Aaron Persky, Who Gave a 6-Month Sentence for Sexual Assault” .
Initially, she decides to keep her assault a secret from her family and friends, attempting to separate herself from the “Emily Doe” in the news. “Emily and I lived separate lives,” she writes, bringing vivid color to descriptions of her daily life. “My days were wonderfully ordinary, full of movement and texture; fresh salmon dinners with crispy skin, long talks on the phone with Lucas [her boyfriend] … Emily lived in a tiny world, narrow and confined.
We also learn of her nightmares, her anxieties, her moments of shame and weakness, as well as all the other normal-girl stuff that’s happening in her life, like her blossoming relationship with her boyfriend Lucas. It’s a fairly new relationship, and she’s still trying to put on her best face for him. Yet reading the statement Lucas has to submit to court about her mental state, Miller realizes how much her assault has affected the people she cares about.
