Fighting for Justice

Abuse victims often feel very alone, helpless, and hopeless. Fighting for Justice will resonate with anyone who has experienced long term abuse and injustice from both the perpetrator and "the system" that enables abusers. This book will encourage and empower abuse victims to refuse to be silenced and demand justice.. Author Paulette J. Buchanan takes the reader through her lifetime of abuse at the hands of her four older brothers. She describes their continuation of abuse into their adult years, including weaponizing the court system to file meritless, harassing lawsuits against her, her husband, and against others. Buchanan details the arduous fight in which she and her husband have been forced to engage in order to finally secure long overdue judgments against these brothers.. The worst of Buchanan's brothers has also weaponized the Internet to engage in incessant defamation and cyber crimes against her, her husband, and dozens of other people. This same brother operates a cult and incites his cult followers to harass the Buchanans. Fighting for Justice offers viable solutions to combat the failures of our government and of Big Tech. Buchanan and her husband continue to work as victim advocates with their legislators to create better laws.. Testimonials“Fighting for Justice is so much more than a survivor’s memoir. It is the story of a family torn by abusive coercive control, the extension of that behavior becoming a significant social issue in the form of a cult, and the determination of a victim to find power and purpose in the legal framework of U.S. justice. Buchanan’s story is riveting, and clearly her search to find resolution is frustrating. Personal safety, financial security, psychological and emotional stability are challenged repeatedly over the course of many years with law enforcement and due process enabling continuation of abuse rather than supporting the victims. Buchanan’s sheer grit and determination have resulted in a deep understanding of how to impact the justice system. She has engaged law makers, attorneys, and judges to bring to light the need for change. Buchanan’s book reveals the many nuances of cultic abuse, the barriers of the legal system, and on a positive note is a kind of primer to educate the public to actuate change.”—Debby Schriver, Author, Whispering in the Daylight: The Children of Tony Alamo Christian Ministries and Their Journey to Freedom“The isochronal cruelty and oppression of cult leaders upon their followers and family of origin is seldom examined. A personalized hell rarely viewed from both perspectives has to my knowledge, not been broached until now. Fighting for Justice is a courageous undertaking, fraught with emotional risk, and exposure. Buchanan’s comprehensive description shuns mere contentment with reporting the dreadful and obvious. Her writing reveals the undermining, demeaning, and objectification of women and children in her family and in the families enslaved by cultic figures, who like her brother are religious frauds. Collapsing on center stage is the broken U.S. Judicial system. Fighting for Justice is a novel read. I’m delighted to recommend.”—Frank S.
