Tuesday July 15, 2025 – 5pm – LIVE – BETRAYED: Violence Against Women

Central Free Library, Skyline Room (4th Floor), 901 Vine Street

Featuring Meg Groff, author of Not If I Can Help It: A Family Lawyer’s Battles for Justice for Victims of Domestic Violence and the Poor ($22.95, Rivertowns Books)

In a rare, starred review, Kirkus Reviews says:  “The cases she recounts range from harrowing to infuriating: The police shrugged away potential murders as suicides, children were left unsupervised with dangerous fathers with devastating results, doctors assumed that struggling young mothers must be alcoholics. Each episode carries a tremendous punch, as well as a searing lesson about the failings of society to help those in need. . . . Despite such heavy details and subject matter, Groff balances her book with warmth and humor.” Books will be available.
