My Daughter, Rehtaeh Parsons
Winner Atlantic Book Awards, George Borden Writing for Change, 2022
“A necessary call to action, My Daughter, Rehtaeh Parsons is a heart wrenching look at the ripple effects of misogyny and the devastating impacts of an indifferent legal system. Rehtaeh Parsons was a resilient young woman who fought like hell for a more just world, and it is a gift to all of us that Glen has continued all of that work. I believe we have a collective responsibility to bear witness and head his call for change.”
— JULIE S. LALONDE
“My Daughter, Rehtaeh Parsons asks all of us to deeply examine the roots of sexual violence, the way in which it is perpetrated in our society, and how we all need to take action. Glen Canning skillfully shares the grief that is bering witness to your child being harmed, not only by her peers, but by the systems that purport to support her.”
— FARRAH KHAN, gender justice advocate
“Heartbreaking. Simply heartbreaking. This is a tragedy we must not look away from because it reveals so much about this world and the issues and problems we must confront head on. This book, with its unrelenting poignancy and honesty, is a necessary read to begin that long, hard, necessary look. “
— JARED YATES SEXTON, author of The Man They Wanted Me to Be
