Over the weekend I devoured Unspeakable Things: Silence, Shame, and the Stories We Choose to Believe by Brooke Nevils. I'll admit that I was stunned when I turned on the Today show back in November of 2017 and learned that Matt Lauer had been removed as the anchor. I wasn't necessarily surprised to hear the reason why, but now, reading Nevils' account, I am more disgusted and appalled by his behavior than I was before. And I never doubted for a moment Nevils' story.
While this book does recount Nevils' interactions with Lauer, it is more than that. It is also about being vulnerable, about how power dynamics work, forgiveness for your own actions, moving forward, and a book that every female should read. This was easily a five-star read for me and as I was reading, a variety of titles popped into my head as other books that would be of interest if Nevils' was the first book on this topic you picked to read.
Above are four titles I'm recommending for anyone looking for more on this topic.
