Kavanaugh Accuser Blasey Ford Pens Memoir of Confirmation Saga

Christine Blasey Ford has written a memoir detailing the lead-up to her Senate testimony that rocked the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the US Supreme Court.

Publisher St. Martin’s Press says “One Way Back” will be published in March. The book highlights the months Ford said she spent “trying to get information” about her allegations of sex assault by Kavanaugh when they were teens into the “right hands” without exposing herself or her family to “dangerous backlash.”

Ford eventually went public with her allegations stemming from what she says was a high school-era encounter at a party in the early 1980s. They were detailed in her emotional testimony at Kavanaugh’s 2018 Senate confirmation hearings during which he issued a fiery denial.

Kavanaugh, a Trump appointee, was eventually confirmed, 50-48, largely along partisan lines in the Senate led by Republicans at the time.

Blasey Ford is a psychology professor at Palo Alto University and the Stanford University School of Medicine.
