Christine Blasey Ford
About this listen
Long-listed, Esquire Magazine Best Books of the Year, 2024
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.”

On February 17, 2022, Brittney Griner arrived in Moscow ready to spend the WNBA offseason playing for the Russian women’s basketball team where she had been the centerpiece of previous championship seasons. Instead, a security checkpoint became her gateway to hell when she was arrested for mistakenly carrying under one gram of medically prescribed hash oil. Brittney’s world was violently upended in a crisis she has never spoken in detail about publicly—until now.

In 1991, Anita Hill began something that's still unfinished work. The issues of gender violence, touching on sex, race, age, and power, are as urgent today as they were when she first testified. Believing is a story of America's three decades long reckoning with gender violence, one that offers insights into its roots, and paths to creating dialogue and substantive change. It is a call to action that offers guidance based on what this brave, committed fighter has learned from a lifetime of advocacy and her search for solutions to a problem that is still tearing America apart.

In this close-up look at the ardent love affair between the author and her painting teacher, which began in the 1970s, when she was seventeen and he was forty-seven and married with two children, Ciment not only reflects on how their love ignited (who leaned in first for that kiss?) but interrogates her 1990s memoir on the subject, Half a Life. She asks herself if she told the whole truth when she wrote about their passion back then, and what truth looked like to her in the even longer-ago era of love-bead curtains when she fell in love.

For the record…Fred Trump never asked for any of this. The divisive politics. The endless headlines. A hijacked last name. The heat-seeking uncle, rising from real estate scion to gossip column fixture to The Apprentice host to President of the United States. Fred just wanted a happy life and a satisfying career. But a fight for his son’s health and safety forced him onto a center stage that he had never wanted. And now, at a crucial point for our nation, he is stepping forward again. In All in the Family, Fred delves into his journey to become a “different kind of Trump.”

Studies show that nearly 70 percent of divorces are initiated by women—women who are tired, fed up, exhausted, and unhappy. We’ve all seen how the media portrays divorcées: sad, lonely, drowning their sorrows in a bottle of wine. Lyz Lenz is one such woman whose life fell apart after she reached a breaking point in her twelve-year marriage. But she refused to take part in that tired narrative and decided to flip the script on divorce.

Patric Gagne realized she made others uncomfortable before she started kindergarten. Something about her caused people to react in a way she didn’t understand. She suspected it was because she didn’t feel things the way other kids did. Emotions like fear, guilt, and empathy eluded her. For the most part, she felt nothing. And she didn’t like the way that “nothing” felt.

On an uneventful afternoon when Scheier was eighteen, her mother sauntered into the room to tell her two important things.

But beneath this polished surface was a powder keg of unresolved trauma and chronic overwork. It was all about to blow.

What makes us moral beings? How do we decide what is good and what is evil? And has it always been that way? Hanno Sauer's sweeping new history of humanity, covering five million years of our universal moral values, comes at a crucial moment of crisis for those values, and helps to explain how they arose—and why we need them. Modern societies are in crisis: a shared universal morality seems to be a thing of the past. Hanno Sauer explains why this appearance is deceptive: in fact, there are universal values that all people share.

Vulnerable and Honest!
Christine did such a great job in this book. Articulating how she felt with full vulnerability and honesty. I know all of this must’ve been so incredibly hard on her and I love the fact that she wrote this book with all the good the bad and the ugly tied to it. I wish her well in the future and thank her for everything she did and has done for women, victims, and just humanity. We all deserve better.

Must read!
I am so grateful for this book! I'm sorry that being brave and doing the right thing cost you so much. This book will no doubt offer the support that so many women are in need of, including me. Thank you for telling your story.

Strength in the author
What a great book. Christine has gone through some extremely tough moments! She should be proud for standing up. It is very inspiring!

Insightful account
Beautifully told, many insights and lessons, many things that need changing in protecting victims stepping forward! (Ever heard of a smear campaign on victims of theft or robbery? Me neither. Targeting a victim going forward should be illegal / cause for another law suit in itself)

hero of the #MeToo movement tells her full life story
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.

Thank you, Dr Ford!
I felt enormous gratitude for Dr Ford as I listened to this and gained further context around this collectively tragic chapter in so many women’s & survivors lives. She’s an unlikely and ambivalent American and feminist hero, but a hero is unequivocally what she is! The personal cost to coming forward - to her, her family, her friends, her colleagues, and her students - has been profound and unjust. I hope she knows what an extraordinary gift she gave us - in coming forward and in writing this book. I love the humanizing personal details like: she’s a passionate surfer, a lover of misfits, a bit of a misfit herself, that she dyes her hair blue, and that her favorite bands are Metallica and Pearl Jam! She’s wonderfully human and reluctantly brave.

Wow!
I am finishing up a book for women about using the power of negotiation to create a more peaceful and sustainable planet. 4 years ago, when I was starting this project, I was hesitant to use the word “patriarchal world culture” which features prominently in the book. I kind of laugh, now, reading Christine’s unbelievable account of it. Whoever these people are, Christian nationalists, the federalist society, white patriarchy, oligarchic dominators, I hope we can love them into submission or something like that. I’m so sorry, Christine, that you had to go through what you did. I deeply thank you for your courage and voice. It has emboldened and clarified mine.

A true patriot
I want to thank you for exposing this man’s true nature. I’m sorry the crooked republicans did not do a proper investigation. You are my hero! He may have been appointed when he should not have but this allegation will always hang over his head. We ALL know he did it! I’m a survivor and I’ve never been able to tell anyone. I so admire you!
