Summary
Recipient of Sports Illustrated's Inspiration of the Year Award and one of Time's 100 Most Influential People (2018)
"Who is going to tell these little girls that what was done to them matters? That they are seen and valued, that they are not alone and they are not unprotected?"
Rachael Denhollander's voice was heard around the world when she spoke out to end the most shocking scandal in US gymnastics history. The first victim to publicly accuse Larry Nassar, the former USA Gymnastics team doctor who abused hundreds of young athletes, Rachael now reveals her full story for the first time. How did Nassar get away with it for so long? How did Rachael and the other survivors finally stop him and bring him to justice? And how can we protect the vulnerable in our own families, churches, and communities?
What Is a Girl Worth? is the inspiring true story of Rachael's journey from an idealistic young gymnast to a strong and determined woman who found the courage to raise her voice against evil, even when she thought the world might not listen. This deeply personal and compelling narrative shines a spotlight on the physical and emotional impact of abuse, why so many survivors are reluctant to speak out, what it means to be believed, the extraordinary power of faith and forgiveness, and how we can learn to do what's right in the moments that matter most.

Brilliant!
Rachael writes so clearly about her experiences in bringing about justice. She is so brave and faithful and it’s amazing to hear her honest account of what she faced with all the real life going on behind it. I loved this book and will be recommending it whole heartedly to others! I have learnt so much from listening to her tell her story.

An incredible story movingly told
I've been moved to tears again and again listening to Rachael Denhollander tell her heartbreaking story in "What is a Girl Worth?" After undergoing horrific abuse at the hands of someone deemed 'trustworthy' and 'the best', Rachael is tragically failed again and again by those who ought to have been there for her. In spite of this, her commitment to truth, justice & advocacy is breathtaking & incredible. She, and the army of fellow survivors, courageously stand against the world to pursue the justice they urgently deserve.
Listening to Rachael read her words in her voice is heartbreaking, awe-inspiring and fitting given how her voice was silenced for so many years. Rachael asks us to imagine ourselves in the story; would we stand with the survivor and the voiceless, even when it's costly?
This book will change your world, though you might have to cry in front of strangers if you choose to listen in public!

What is a girl worth
What a beast this guy is. Why did the authorities turn a blind eye for so long. He is Americas twin to jimmy Saville who authorities also turned a blind eye to. The biggest question is WHY???

Very interesting
I found this book after watching Athlete A and The Price of Gold. It was really interesting to see all that went into bringing the case to trial, and to understand what the victims go through. Even on the interviews of the survivors there’s a mixture of comments varying from ‘why didn’t they say something sooner’ or ‘pelvic floor therapy is legit’. This answers all those questions.
It goes without saying it discusses the impact on people’s whole lives after suffering abuse.
Rachael read it herself, her voice is calm and soft

Incredible story. Incredible woman.
Gripping. Probably one of the most challenging and transformational books I've ever "read".
A must read for anyone in any kind of leadership role in any organisation. Particualrly the church.

A little girl is worth everything…
Rachael Denhollander is, I think, the most courageous person I have ever read about.
She has fought for what she knew was right and has not only managed to get a prolific an seemingly untouchable paedophile sent to jail she has helped countless women heal from the abuse they suffered from Larry Nassau and USAG.
Her story is engaging and well read, she is a true advocate for what is right.
I would recommend that everyone listen as a reminder that with love you fight the hardest and everyone has a responsibility to do the right thing even when facing great adversity.
Thank you Rachael x

A must read
Shocking, bone chilling, heartbreaking, inspiring, Rachael Denhollander's account of taking down pedophile doctor Larry Nassar is definitely a wake up call.
