Larry Nassar has been called one of the worst sexual predators in
history. For years, the families in Lansing, Michigan admired and
trusted him. He was a longtime doctor at Michigan State University,
while also serving as the physician for the U.S. Olympic gymnastics
team. Parents left their daughters in his care, grateful for the
attention of this renowned doctor. He became a mentor and
confidante to aspiring young gymnasts with big dreams. In the wake
of abuse revelations, athletes are asking why they weren't
protected. Victims want to know why they weren't believed. Parents
are questioning why authorities didn't stop him when they had the
chance. How did this happen? And how can we prevent it from
occurring again? Drawing on exclusive interviews, this book unveils
the behind-the-scenes story on the scandal that riveted and
devastated the world of elite sports--and the small community where
it all began. This is the narrative of how these women found their
voice and came together, refusing to let the abuse of their past
define their future. Their experience carries an important message
for readers amid the ever-growing #MeToo movement: There is power
in your voice.
