Start by Believing

In "Start by Believing," authors John Barr and Dan Murphy provide a gripping account of the largest sex abuse scandal in American sports history, focusing on osteopathic physician Larry Nassar and his exploitation of young athletes under the guise of medical treatment. Through exclusive interviews and documents, they explore the systemic failures that allowed these abuses to persist and the courageous women who challenged the culture of silence and intimidation within gymnastics. This powerful narrative not only highlights individual bravery but also underscores the broader societal implications, contributing to the #MeToo movement and a crucial examination of accountability in elite athletics.
