Award-winning filmmaker Tanya Selvaratnam recounts the intimate abuse she suffered from former New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, using her story as a prism to examine the domestic violence crisis plaguing America.
What The Reviewers Say
... crisp, unadorned prose.
... raw, gut-wrenching, and honest in its exposure of how—and why—women find themelves trapped in the stories that comprised their childhoods, with particular attention to the shame that comes from believing that they should have known better.
Part survivor’s tale and part exposé of intimate violence, the book offers a candid, often frightening exploration of the diabolically schizophrenic ways that the patriarchy conspires to disempower women.
Filmmaker Selvaratnam...traces the harrowing story of her relationship with former New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman in this courageous work.
