Now I Speak | From Stalked to Standing Up — Anna Nasset Memoir — Hardcover

She Was Silenced for Nearly a Decade. Then She Decided to Speak.

On November 4th, 2011, Anna Nasset opened the door of her art gallery to a man she didn’t know — and her life changed forever. What followed was nearly a decade of stalking, fear, and a relentless fight for justice that would ultimately result in one of the longest stalking sentences in United States history.

Now I Speak is Anna’s memoir — raw, courageous, and unflinching. Told through first-person narration, flashbacks, and evidence from her landmark legal case, it traces not only the nightmare of being stalked but the deeper history of abuse and vulnerability that shaped Anna’s life — and ultimately fueled her determination to fight back, speak out, and become one of the most powerful advocates for stalking awareness in the country.

This is not just a story of survival. It is a call to action.

Part of our Advocacy Collection — because silence protects perpetrators, and every survivor who speaks changes the world for the ones who come after.

🧠 Why Survivor Memoirs Matter for Healing & Advocacy

Research in trauma psychology, narrative therapy, and social advocacy shows that survivor memoirs serve a profound dual purpose — for the writer and the reader:

• For survivors: Telling your story is one of the most powerful acts of reclamation available. Research shows that narrative processing of trauma — putting experience into words and sharing it — significantly reduces PTSD symptoms, reduces shame, and restores a sense of agency and identity
• For readers: Reading survivor accounts activates empathy, reduces isolation for those with similar experiences, and provides a roadmap for what healing and fighting back can look like
• For society: Stalking affects approximately 1 in 6 women in the United States (CDC), yet it remains one of the most underreported and misunderstood crimes. Books like this one change that — one reader at a time
• Witnessing courage is contagious — research in social psychology shows that exposure to acts of moral courage increases the likelihood that observers will act courageously themselves

When Anna speaks, she speaks for every woman who hasn’t found her voice yet. Reading this book is an act of solidarity.
