“Adams does a remarkable job writing a book that is easy to read and compelling, while also capturing the seemingly illogical trauma responses that can so easily be misinterpreted as consensual. I had a hard time finishing this book because each time I picked it up, it returned me to my own experience. Greg captured it that well.”
— Jamie Forbes
CEO and Survivor, Learning Courage
GREG ADAMS was already in trouble before he met the doctor.
Years of PTSD had left him holding his life together with white knuckles — a successful career, a loving partner, good friends. When he walked into Strong Memorial Hospital, he wasn’t looking for a fight. He was looking for help.
What he got was a violation by the one person he was supposed to trust.
Then came the aftermath. The hospital that didn’t want to know. Two police departments that refused to take a report. A District Attorney who shut down the investigation before it reached her desk. An LGBTQ liaison cop who told him to send her an email. A medical board that gave the doctor a plea deal and a chaperone.
They expected him to go away. He didn’t.
Greg taped phone calls. He taught himself the penal code. He sued his attacker in small claims court, represented himself, and won.
It cost him everything. His marriage. His home. His dog. He lost them all — not to the assault, but to the fight that followed.
Strong Victim, Strong Survivor is profane, brutally honest, and impossible to put down. It is not a story about healing. It’s what comes before — the fight to be believed, the refusal to be silenced, and the ten-year wait for the phone call that proved he was right all along.
