'Intensely personal ... turning fear into bravery and pain into power' Cosmopolitan
'A powerful memoir ... the astonishing story of her fight for justice' Guardian

As profiled in the Guardian and on Radio 4 Woman's Hour
Cast in a cult film at the age of eighteen, Jenny Evans was on the cusp of something extraordinary; a route out of her hometown, a future of promise. But the new world she was exploring crumbled around her when she was assaulted at a party by a high-profile figure.
Jenny reported this crime to the police when she became aware of other allegations of violence against The Famous Man. Shortly after doing so, details of what she had experienced were printed in a tabloid newspaper.
Jenny trained as a journalist herself to try to find out how this happened. In the aftermath of devastation, she picked up the pieces and fought back against the systems that caused her harm. Her investigation helped expose the jaw-dropping press abuse and police corruption we now call the 'phone-hacking scandal'.
Now training as a lawyer, Jenny is still working to fight for justice in a system that so horrifically fails its victims.
Don't Let it Break You, Honey is a reckoning: a personal, fiercely compelling account of power - who holds it, who wields it, who is silenced in the process. It asks urgent questions about fame, justice, and the institutions we have no choice but to trust, while offering something even more profound: hope.
Because this is, above all, a story about resilience. About finding your voice when the world wants to silence you. And refusing to let them win.
