One Way Back: A Memoir by Christine Blasey Ford

challenging emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

4.0

The book focuses on the time from when Christine Blasey Ford found out that Brent Kavenaugh was a contender for the Supreme Court through now. The focus is mainly on her experience of navigating telling reporters and politicians about what happened, the path to testifying in congress, and then the fallout of the testimony. While most of the text is dedicated to describing the individual conversations she had with friends, lawyers, and others, there is also reflection on the lack of a system for reporting and the terrible threats and treatment she received from many people.

Many times throughout the book she mentions how other people decided how to frame her testimony or even lie about her, and so I am so glad that we now get to read her perspective of the last six years.
