A groundbreaking exploration of trauma, healing, and empowerment from a seasoned courtroom lawyer.
Blending raw honesty with legal insight, JoDee Neil steps beyond her professional role to share her journey as a survivor of sexual assault. She shows how disclosure itself can become a transformative tool for healing—not only for survivors, but for the justice system and society.
This memoir-meets-manifesto exposes the far-reaching consequences of sexual abuse, including self-destructive behaviors, substance dependence, and the silence that enables ongoing harm. Drawing on decades of legal practice and personal recovery, Neil offers a rare dual perspective, revealing what even insiders to the justice system must overcome when confronting sexual assault and presenting multiple paths to healing.
