"When a book comes along which is not only timely, but the kind of painstakingly detailed volume that can make a reader want to get involved, it’s cause for celebration, even in these unsettled times. Vanessa Osage’s CAN’T STOP THE SUNRISE: Adventures in Healing, Confronting Corruption & the Journey to Institutional Reform is just such a book."

Can't Stop the Sunrise
Adventures in Healing, Confronting Corruption
& the Journey to Institutional Reform
The debut memoir from Vanessa Osage about coming of age in upper class New England culture and finding a place in the world after a shattering departure from her first home.
​
A lovingly told recollection of those who make life worthwhile; a fierce rendering of confrontations with white men of privilege; a searching exploration of integrity, and revelations on the challenge of speaking truth to power.
​
Osage writes in the voice of a poet, a traveler, a professional in the sexual health field, and a dedicated child-safety advocate. The book includes real communications with modern-day school officials, newspaper articles, editorials, and the outline of an oversight and transparency initiative called The Justice CORPS - the Committee to Oversee the Rights & Protections of Students.
​
Ultimately, Vanessa Osage brings a perspective that just might evolve us all toward greater health.
"In her thoroughly gripping book, CAN’T STOP THE SUNRISE: Adventures in Healing, Confronting Corruption & the Journey to Institutional Reform, Vanessa Osage dives into the courageous and magnificent tale of her ongoing efforts to hold pedophiles... fully accountable for their crimes–along with complicit, abuse-enabling school officials, elite institutions, etc."
