One Way Back: A Memoir by Christine Blasey Ford

challenging emotional reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

ONE WAY BACK is really beautifully written - you can tell that every word was a reclamation. For the amount of vitriol and villainizing Christine Blasey Ford went through when she decided to step forward and share about her assault, this memoir returns none of it. Her writing is full of grace and compassion with only inklings of the anger she certainly is entitled to. I was incredibly moved throughout her prose and uplifted by the many sacrifices she made and continues to make. 
I remember believing her story then, and to imagine what would be different if our country not only believed her (although SO many did) but also made it matter.
