 **About The Author:** Alice Sebold grew up in the suburbs she was atacked and rape on her way home, alone late at night, walking through a park off-campus. after bringing it to the police the told her that she was lucky because at one point at the spot she was atacked, there was a girl who was raped and murdered. she also wrote another very famouse book called __The Lovely Bones__ witch is about a girl who is raped, but she wasn't to lucky. She was murdered by a person who she though she knew verry well. She seems to want to let the world know that there isn't alwayse good in everyone. witch leads to why Alice wrote lucky ** Authors purpose on writing the story: ** Alice Sebold wanted to bring more awareness to rape. She said that "One of the reasons why I wrote it is because tons of people have had similar stories, not exactly the same but similar, and I want the word 'rape' to be used easily in conversation. My desire would be that somehow my writing would take a little bit of the taboo or the weirdness of using that word away. No one work is going to accomplish the years of work that need to be done, but it can help."
