Sunflowers is a compilation of heart-achingly beautiful stories and poems. We see life as experienced by a young Texan girl as she grapples with growing up, learning to love and trust in the aftermath of rape and assault. "'If my son raped a girl and she as wearing slutty clothing he should not go to jail and he should not be blamed, ' Mrs. June will say several times throughout the semester, continuing to explain that it should be the girl's fault for being a slut."
