SleepWalking Through Glass: A True Story of Crime, Deception, & Survival

Only 10 percent of crime victims sue in civil court, reports the National Center for Crime Victims.

A criminal act may lead to a civil lawsuit for compensation. Most cases will settle out of court. And misconduct and criminality will be concealed from public view because of privacy agreements.

One such case inspired this book.

SleepWalking Through Glass… chronicles the backstory of Cate Logan, a Caribbean American college student assaulted outside a busy upscale store in the late 1990s. Against the backdrop of a six-figure lawsuit, gender, bias, social, and cultural themes ensue. Then a series of unlucky events begins to occur. And Cate struggles to uncover the truth. Unaware of the hidden danger.

This book exposes issues that others, especially women and people of color, may experience in related situations.
