Publisher's Summary
One Omaha winter day in 1978, when Debora Harding was just 14, she was abducted at knife-point, thrown into a van, assaulted, held for ransom and left to die.
But what if this wasn't the most traumatic, defining event in her childhood?
Undertaking a radical project, Deborah Harding dexterously shifts between the past and present to unravel her story. From the immediate aftermath to the possibility of restorative justice 20 years later, Dancing with the Octopus lays bare the social and political forces that act upon us after the experience of serious crime. A vivid, sly and intimate portrait of one family's disintegration, this is a darkly humorous and ground-breaking narrative of reckoning and recovery.

Not your average survivor storytelling
I loved this book. The story telling of the traumas in this book are so real and genuine. I felt heard when listening to Debora talk about her manifestations of PTSD and then learning how to make the decisions that protect yourself and your family. This book lingers long.
