Publisher's summary

On August 28, 1997, just as she was starting her junior year of college at the University of Kentucky, Holly Dunn and her boyfriend, Chris Maier, were walking along railroad tracks on their way home from a party when they were attacked by notorious serial killer Angel Maturino Resendiz, a.k.a. The Railroad Killer.

After her boyfriend is beaten to death in front of her, Holly is stabbed, raped, and left for dead. In this memoir of survival and healing from a horrific true crime, Holly recounts how she lived through the vicious assault, helped bring her assailant to justice, and ultimately found meaning and purpose through service to victims of sexual assault and other violent crimes, working as a motivational speaker and activist and founding Holly's House, a safe and nurturing space in her hometown of Evansville, Indiana.

I heard Holly’s story on the podcast What Was That Like. Once she mentioned she wrote a book I knew I had to have it! She is such an inspiration and one strong lady! She overcame so much with her amazing faith. I definitely recommend this book!

Misprounced Senator Duck Lugar’s name

It would be easy to check on the correct pronunciation of an important persons name
Seems sloppy to me

Solid Book — Remarkable Person

Nothing but respect for all the folks touched by this unspeakable Monster. Solid book, solid performance. A little too much girl stuff when describing room interiors, outfits worn, details of the church, etc… Much appreciated the honesty that came through from the author.

Very inspiring story. Detailed account was good. Would have like more details on the other cases, especially how the detectives worked the other cases that were linked to this crime.

5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🎧

It's incredibly hard to listen to, but so important. Her story and her strength should be celebrated. The incredible work she has done for other survivors is outstanding.

My heart goes out to her and anyone who is dealing with such horrific violence done to them.
Hope and faith really are remarkable in the face of so much sadness.

The narrator was a little detached, but I didn't mind. I couldn't even imagine how hard it would be to tell someone's story.
