Jenny Evans

Don't Let It Break You, Honey

A Memoir about Saving Yourself

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

When Jenny Evans was in her twenties, she was heady with the excitement of a promising acting career, but her world stopped when she was sexually assaulted by a man whose name was known in households everywhere - the 'Famous Man'. But this memoir isn't about him. Or what he did. It's about Jenny. The woman behind the headlines. After feeling like she'd lost herself, Jenny picked up the pieces and paved her way to a journey full of strength in the aftermath of devastation and fought back against the systems that caused her harm. Turning her hand to journalism, she investigated, and helped expose, the jaw-dropping press abuse and police corruption we now know as the 'phone hacking scandal'. But Jenny didn't stop there, now training as a lawyer, she's working to fight for justice in a system that so horrifically fails its victims. Don't Let it Break You, Honey is a powerful, deeply personal memoir that reflects on authority in fame, media, police and the patriarchy and questions whose voices we hear, whose story is believed and the rotten core of our institutions in which we place our trust. This is a story about saving yourself and fighting for the truth. This is the story of Jenny Evans.
