{ "item_title" : "One Way Back", "item_author" : [" Christine Blasey Ford "], "item_description" : "The compelling true story behind the testimony that awed the nation On September 27, 2018, Christine Blasey Ford testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee which was considering the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court. In a moving and historic testimony, she detailed an alleged sexual assault by the Supreme Court nominee that took place at a high school party in the 1980s. Her words and courage on that day provided some of the most credible and unforgettable testimony our country has ever witnessed on television.In her book, Ford recounts the months she spent trying to get information into the right hands without exposing herself and her family to dangerous backlash. Drawing parallels to her life as a surfer, she explains the process of paddling out into unknown waters and despite the risks and fears, knowing there is only way back to shore. The book reveals riveting new details about the leadup to her testimony and its overwhelming aftermath and describes how she continues to navigate her way out of the storm. Ford shares how people unknown to her around the world restored her faith in humanity; why young people give her hope for the future; and the importance of truth and integrity transcending political lines. This is the real story behind the headlines and the soundbites, a complex, page turning memoir of a scientist, a surfer, a mother, a patriot and an unlikely whistleblower. Ford’s experience helps us understand that when one person steps forward to speak truth to power, she adds to a collective whole, a greater wave of progress and change.Christine Blasey Ford says, “I never thought of myself as a survivor, a whistleblower, or an activist before the events in 2018. But now, what I and this book can offer is a call to all the other people who might not have chosen those roles for themselves, but who choose to do what’s right. Sometimes you don’t speak out because you are a natural disrupter. You do it to cause a ripple that might one day become a wave.”", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/25/028/965/1250289653_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "29.00", "online_price" : "29.00", "our_price" : "29.00", "club_price" : "29.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "29.00" } }
