Why read it?
1 author picked Undoing Jane Doe as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This memoir depicts not only the manipulative and abusive relationship the author had with her coach but includes the excruciating experience of confronting her later in life and going through the process of prosecution.

I ached for how hard this was for Kim and rejoiced at her eventual liberation.
From Liz's list on teenage abuse and healing.
