The University of Chicago is, of course, an actual place but all the people, buildings, departments and events in this novel are fictional. I regret I cannot actually gift this fine university with these buildings and academic departments. I am glad, however, that the events portrayed here are completely without basis in fact and are wholly a creation of my own imagination.

Regrettably, however, violence against women is all too real, and the widespread failure of individuals and institutions to prevent this viciousness and to quickly and competently identify and prosecute the offenders is all too common.

This must change.

This volume, fictional though it may be, is dedicated to the women and men who have suffered many forms of violence at educational institutions and been denied justice.
