Hunted: A Memoir of Survival

By Rosemary Sangiorgio

Shortlisted for the 2025 AICW Bressani First Book Award.
Rosemary was twelve years old when the abuse started and sixteen when an attempted rape forced her to break her silence with her mother revealing a dark secret she had been carrying for years. Her cousin's husband had been sexually assaulting her each time their families would unite. After a brief period of family unrest and a mock trial, Rosemary was ordered to stay quiet and given full access to freedom in disguise as she went away to school in Florence, Italy.

Follow her story, from her perspective, as she navigates a family dynamic in which the most important thing to do with the people she loves the most, is to wear a mask and keep secrets.

Hunted is a story of resilience and power, and finding out that your greatest weakness is actually your greatest strength in disguise.
