"Who is going to tell these little girls that what was done to them matters? That they are seen and valued, that they are not alone and they are not unprotected?"

Rachael Denhollander's voice was heard around the world when she spoke out to end the most shocking scandal in US gymnastics history. The first victim to publicly accuse Larry Nassar, the former USA Gymnastics team doctor who abused hundreds of young athletes, Rachael now reveals her full story for the first time. How did Nassar get away with it for so long? How did Rachael and the other survivors finally stop him and bring him to justice? And how can we protect the vulnerable in our own families, churches, and communities?

What Is a Girl Worth? is the inspiring true story of Rachael's journey from an idealistic young gymnast to a strong and determined woman who found the courage to raise her voice against evil, even when she thought the world might not listen. This deeply personal and compelling narrative shines a spotlight on the physical and emotional impact of abuse, why so many survivors are reluctant to speak out, what it means to be believed, the extraordinary power of faith and forgiveness, and how we can learn to do what's right in the moments that matter most.

Powerful

Rachel’s incredible journey of strength, courage, mental, physical and emotional anguish and raw honesty open the eyes, hearts and minds of the reader to the entangled web that led to Larry Nassar’s fall and accountability. Having suffered a deep betrayal in my life, I could feel many of her emotions....do the RIGHT thing with love....
Our Heavenly Father was with you through it all and your abilities in so many realms(along with your family)made you the one to carry this through. Thank you for the bravery to tell your story.

Thank you

This book was engaging in a way I didn’t expect. As a former gymnast and coach and now a medical social worker in pediatrics I thank you from the bottom of my heart for so bravely and skillfully going after this justice and so we’ll well articulating your story and sharing with whomever is brave enough to listen. I’m sure you have empowered countless others in immeasurable ways. I hope my prayers for continued improvements in victims rights will help in some way.

The courage of the survivors

Appreciated the depth and strength of the entire book. The narrator presented the subject matter in a soothing calming voice.

A must read!!!

An eye opener. Loved the detail and the uplifting message. I was able to share it with my daughters and talk to them about the many faces of evil.

Every human needs to know this story

This is a voice that every survivor should be allowed to have. A platform should be given to all survivors.
