Hannah V. Sawyerr explores the harm of sexual abuse within a tight-knit community in her debut novel "All the Fighting Parts." If there's one thing anyone knows about 16-year-old Amina Conte, it's that she isn't afraid to speak her mind. When her outspokenness lands her in trouble at school, she's sent to help Pastor Johnson at the local church and faces assault at the hands of their community's most beloved leaders. Suddenly Amina is withdrawn, and she struggles to find the voice she once took such pride in. When Pastor Johnson is arrested for a different crime, forcing their community apart and landing her in the spotlight, Amina searches within herself to find her power and her voice.
