Tara Dorabji talks about Dear Sister: Letters from Survivors of Sexual Violence with editor Lisa Factora-Borchers and contributors Michelle Ovalle and brownfemipower.  Dear Sister, a multiethnic anthology by and for survivors, comes out from AK press this week.

Dear Sister shares the lessons, memories, and vision of over fifty artists, activists, mothers, writers, and students who share their stories of survival or what it means to be an advocate and ally to survivors. Written in an epistolary format, this multi-generational, multi-ethnic collection of letters and essays is a moving journey into the hearts and minds of the survivors of rape, incest, and other forms of sexual violence, written directly to and for other survivors.
