    I recently read a book that had a woman offhandedly mention a sexual assault she had experienced and write off the situation- it wasn’t that bad, it was that violent. The male character (who was in a position of authority) pushed back, responded with compassion and outrage.

    It wasn’t even a major part of the book, but something about it hit me so hard.

    So I’m looking for a book recommendation where a male character cares that a woman has been raped… especially if nobody else seems to care AND if the man is in a position of authority and is able to actually take her seriously or respond well.
