Stormproof

*** READER REVIEWS ***

"Porter Quinn's profile of coercive control is profound. The language is clear and direct. With examples from romantic, workplace, family, and other relationships, the author highlights many ways in which 'unequal humanity gets normalized.' I recommend Stormproof to young adult readers as well as older readers who want to understand relationships that do harm while appearing benign. A powerful illumination of interpersonal power dynamics that I wish I'd read decades ago! "

~ Colleen S. Bell, PhD, Professor Emerita of Conflict Studies, Social Justice Studies & Gender Studies at Hamline University

"In Stormproof, Quinn clearly names and describes the trap of coercive relationships and grooming behaviors, and shines a light on a much-needed path to recovery and restoration of one's sense of self."

~ Patty Wetterling, Author of Dear Jacob, A Mother's Journey of Hope, and former Chair of the Board of Directors for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children

"The concept of the 'stormproof self' reframes recovery not as returning to who you were, but becoming someone whose life is structurally less available to domination. This is a compassionate, rigorous, and urgently needed book."

~ Dr. Katie Green, PhD, Senior Lecturer, Leadership and Workplace Wellbeing at Manchester Metropolitan University, England, and a narcissistic abuse survivor
