Rape in a Small Town

Just a few days left, and she's done with Burrillville High School. Laura's going to CCRI next year for the high school-college program. She has already registered for classes, including a law and evidence class.

She has one goal that the old Laura didn't have.

"I'm going to write a book," she says, with an air of defiance.

But that's a lot of work.

For now, she wants to have fun — "a schoolgirl summer," her father says.

What her parents want for Laura is that she will be strong and able to confront everything that comes her way.

They hope she will find the kind of loving relationship that they have.

Most of all, they want her to be able to take care of herself.
