I am thrilled to get these kind words about "The Village that Betrayed its Children" from an expert in the field of the legal issues of "enablers" and "bystanders" in sexual abuse, Amos Guiora:
"Have read your book…. more power to you for taking this on and addressing beyond painful matters in an unflinching manner.
That’s what truly stuck out for me.
I’m sure, in that vein, survivors will be emboldened/strengthened by your courage and no BS approach.
More power to you"

"Lee's memoir chronicles her recovery and salvation after her husband Duncan (whom she planned to divorce after 14 years of emotional abuse) dies of cancer. Left to face her own demons without Duncan's ranting to keep her company, Lee turns to Jungian psychology in order to make sense of her life. What she finds are the strength and tools that may help her finally resurrect it.
Why we're looking forward to it: This feels like the perfect mix of a psychological study paired with inspirational self-help."

"Lee’s memoir is part Jungian philosophy, part dream analysis, and all-around compellingly true story about a woman’s ability to heal and resurrect her life after the death of her abusive husband."
