At some point, we all make a pitstop in a quaint town called Victimville. The presumably thriving community is socially and economically complicated, overpopulated and notorious for deception. While many can attest that Victimville is rich in suffering but poor in hope, the biggest discovery is that the town has no geographical location, because it only exists in the mind. In her debut anthology, Vacate Victimville, Vernice Cooper gives readers a brief tour of Victimville, and allows readers to better understand the imprisonment of their own thoughts. Using relatable fictional short stories and poetry, the author invites readers to reflect on their trauma, motivations and healing journey in hopes to find their own road out of Victimville.
