【脫離性暴力枷鎖，唯有戰鬥才能自我拯救】
這是一部關於兒童性侵、描述社會基層寫實的小說，蘇琪和戴拉的是相依為命的兩姐妹，黛拉十歲時，媽媽被捕入獄，她倆被寄養在繼父那裡生活，也因此壟罩在被虐、性侵的愁雲慘霧中，為了擺脫不平等的權力對待，兩姐妹於是決定展開逃亡的日子。

本書出版後得獎無數，包括紐伯瑞文學獎，書中觸碰了現實社會裡一直存在的兒童受虐問題，例如如何掙脫悲慘的遭遇、面對傷口並且在漫長未來的歲月中讓身心靈復癒，這對受虐者來說都是此生重要的戰役。

"Fighting Words is raw, it is real, it is necessary, a must-read for children and their adults--a total triumph in all ways." —Holly Goldberg Sloan, New York Times bestselling author of Counting by 7s

Ten-year-old Della has always had her older sister, Suki: When their mom went to prison, Della had Suki. When their mom's boyfriend took them in, Della had Suki. When that same boyfriend did something so awful they had to run fast, Della had Suki. Suki is Della's own wolf--her protector. But who has been protecting Suki? Della might get told off for swearing at school, but she has always known how to keep quiet where it counts. Then Suki tries to kill herself, and Della's world turns so far upside down, it feels like it's shaking her by the ankles. Maybe she's been quiet about the wrong things. Maybe it's time to be loud.

In this powerful novel that explodes the stigma around child sexual abuse and leavens an intense tale with compassion and humor, Kimberly Brubaker Bradley tells a story about two sisters, linked by love and trauma, who must find their own voices before they can find their way back to each other.
