Due to their “exceptional” review of Damned If She Does, Kirkus Reviews has selected it for inclusion in its September magazine and website listing of “GREAT INDIE BOOKS WORTH DISCOVERING”!!
Both a crime mystery and narrative insight into the trauma and consequences of keeping sexual abuse secret, Damned If She Does reveals what Kirby Dick, co-director of the documentary “On The Record,” refers to as the “deep-seated misogyny and distrust of survivors.” As he notes, “MeToo did not change everything.” In Damned If She Does, did silence lead to murder? Does speaking out do more harm than good? Are women damned if they do and damned if they don’t?
