Amanda Nguyen , then 22 , was raped at a Harvard University frat party in the early hours of the morning .

Nguyen was discharged with a bill of $ 4,863.79 as well as 65 pieces of paper, prescriptions and their side-effects, forms to sign, leaflets, a medical letter for university-work extensions.

Nguyen 's memoir, Saving Five , tells the story of that ignition.

Saving Five is an account of trauma, rage and activism, and also a kind of guide through grief.

It shows how every stage propelled Nguyen and served a purpose.

Nguyen is also an astronaut now, and will become the first Vietnamese woman to go to space.

She arrived on her first day at college with her arm in a cast, having spent the previous night in hospital.

The Sexual Assault Survivors’ Rights Act took up all of Amanda Nguyen’s life.

Pushing through the bill took up her life and she withdrew her CIA application.

She now fits the bill around her astronaut training to be part of her experiments in space.
