    A Story of Intimate Violence

    A searing memoir of intimate partner violence that traces a relationship with a celebrated public figure from charm and control to escalating psychological and physical abuse, revealing the red flags of coercive control, the isolation and shame that keep survivors silent, and the cultural and institutional forces that enable abusers; it follows the narrator’s path to recognizing the danger, breaking free, seeking accountability, and reclaiming her voice to advocate for change.
