Comfort and Other Traps

A digital copy of the book, Comfort and Other Traps, Oblivion and Other Lies, which is a nonfiction memoir that recounts a family’s lived experience of betrayal, abuse of power, and moral courage. Told from the perspective of a daughter, the book centers on her mother, a successful and principled woman whose refusal to compromise her values draws retaliation from powerful figures. What follows is a slow unraveling of safety and stability through intimidation, isolation, and institutional injustice, revealing how systems meant to protect can instead be used to silence. The book reflects on how comfort can become a trap, how forgetting (or being forced into oblivion) enables wrongdoing, and how resilience, faith, and truth become acts of resistance in the face of corruption and loss.
