Lucky

I just started reading the book Lucky.
Its a memoir about a girl named Alice Sebold.
During her freshman year at Syracuse University, she was beaten and raped in the park along the university.
She went to the police and they did everything they could but they still couldnt find the man.
She went back home during the summer, and returned the following school year back at Syracuse. She had to make some changes though, she had to live in the all girls single room dorm, she needed an escort when she went out past five o'clock, and most people were surprised she came back.
During her sophomore year, she was walking through town and she passed by her rapist. He began to talk to her and she kept walking. She turned to see the man talking to a police officer. She went to her class and told her teacher, he escorted her to the police station were she made another complaint on him. They took her description of the police officer the man was talking to, and it was enough evidence for them to identify him. Thats as far as I've gotten.
