Overview

🏆 SHORTLISTED FOR THE CAP AWARDS 2026 🏆

The national, all-Ireland awards celebrating excellence in independent publishing.

Not the Perfect Victim - A CAP Awards Top 5 Finalist celebrating excellence in Irish indie publishing.

He stole my voice. This is what it took to get it back.

A fierce, honest memoir of trauma, autism, and finding the strength to speak.

At nineteen, one night changed everything for Anna Kahill. A violent trauma shattered her sense of safety and left her carrying the truth alone for more than a decade. Grief, motherhood, and a late diagnosis of autism and PTSD finally forced the memories she had buried to the surface.

Not the Perfect Victim is Anna's unflinching account of survival and the fight for justice inside a system that legal professionals, advocacy groups, and survivors often describe as notoriously difficult to navigate in sexual violence cases. With clarity and courage, she exposes the impossible expectations placed on traumatised and neurodivergent women - and the silence demanded of anyone who doesn't fit the "perfect victim" mould.

Raw, compassionate, and deeply human, this memoir speaks to anyone who has questioned their memory, their worth, or their right to be heard.

For readers of:

A Hymn to Life - Gis le Pelicot

Know My Name - Chanel Miller

Nobody's Girl -Virginia Giuffre

The Body Keeps the Score - Bessel van der Kolk

Anna Kahill's story has been featured in The Belfast Telegraph, Books Ireland, Women Writers, Writing.ie, Armagh I, and The Newry Democrat.

A memoir that refuses silence - and shows what it really takes to reclaim your life.
