Writer Sonia Orchard was in her 40s when a revelation during a therapy session turned her life upside down. Could the relationship she&rsquo;d had in her teens with a man more than a decade older in fact be abuse? In her new memoir, Groomed, Sonia investigates her own story, sharing her gruelling journey through the justice system, and shines a light on the failures &ndash; social, structural, legal &ndash; that entrench and prolong the trauma for victim survivors. This week, she speaks with Michael about the power of reclaiming her story. &nbsp; Reading list: The Virtuoso, Sonia Orchard, 2009 Into the Fire, Sonia Orchard, 2019 Groomed, Sonia Orchard, 2025 &nbsp; You can find these books and all the others we mentioned at your favourite independent book store.&nbsp; &nbsp; Socials: Stay in touch with Read This on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/themonthlymagazine/?hl=en">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/THEMONTHLY">Twitter</a> Guest: Sonia OrchardSee <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
