About this listen
This program is read by the author and includes clips from her testimony, a Trump rally, C-SPAN, CNN, and ABC News.
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. She described 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.
In One Way Back, 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 despite the risks and fears, knowing there is only one 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.
This is the real story behind the headlines and the soundbites, a complex, compelling memoir of a scientist, a surfer, a mother, a patriot and an unlikely whistleblower. Ford’s experience shows that when one person steps forward to speak truth to power, she adds to a collective whole, causing "a ripple that might one day become a wave.”

100% Authentic
I didn’t have to listen to this book to believe CBF’s account of her assault. I saw the hearing in its entirety. I suffered the same abuse from the age of 14. History will look upon the shameful and embarrassing way the GOP handled this. Worse, was the then president’s (45) vitriol adding fuel to the already raging dumpster fire. I hope life gets easier for CBF. She did a great service to her country and will go down in history as a brave patriot. This book was enjoyable, thoughtful and educational and I loved the surfing analogies. Big hugs to you, CBF.

Great listen with some surprises
Although Christine doesn't like all the attention her testimony has brought to her family, her bravery shines through through her desire to do the right thing.
