Seven plus one stories of gender-based violence for one girl or for many girls. Seven plus one stories that speak about you, about me, about all of us. An invisible red thread connects the stories of nine girls, with the events in one’s life affecting the life of another, creating a form of interconnected novel.

Niki, Vanessa, Stella, Lena, Maria, Sandra, Anna, Christina, Rita, the heroines of the eight stories. I could be her or you, but also all the girls who struggle on the path of life, trying to find our way, to mature, to create, to develop our personality, and to define our identity, leaving our mark on the world.

Abusive partners, teachers who cross boundaries, cowards, indifferent, manipulative or oppressive parents, classmates who threaten and blackmail. And on the other side, boys who know how to respect and support others regardless of gender, but also strong girls, who discover themselves and send a message of empowerment and mutual support.
