Lavinia was 13 years old in 1985 when someone broke into her home and raped her at knifepoint. For twenty years this crime remained unsolved, as Lavinia continued on with her life. Then, in 2005 Lavinia learned that a DNA sample from her case had been linked through the DNA database to a suspect. In her book, “Breathe Again”, Lavinia recounts how her experience with rape brought her from “misery to woman of ministry”. She was prompted to write this book to encourage other women and men who have been victims of sexual assault.
