Start by believing : Larry Nassar's crimes, the institutions that enabled him, and the brave women who stopped a monster

Barr, John (author.). Murphy, Dan (Sportswriter), (author.).

Summary: Barr and Murphy tell the full devastating story of former physician Larry Nassar's serial abuse of America's elite gymnasts and others -- for over a quarter century. They reveal the win-at-all-costs culture in youth athletics and higher education that enabled him. When warnings were raised, self-serving leaders chose to protect their organizations' reputations over the well-being of young people. -- adapted from jacket
