Description

From Denise Brown—older sister of Nicole Brown Simpson—comes a vital, trauma-informed book that illuminates intimate partner violence and the systems that enable it.

About one in three women in the US experience domestic violence, and many incidents are never reported. Drawing on decades of work with domestic violence shelters and the aftermath of her sister’s death, Denise blends memoir and biography with passages from Nicole’s journals, centering the voices and lived experiences of survivors.

Denise teaches practical, evidence-based ways to recognize warning signs—because abusers often hide behind charm, wealth, or charisma—and explains how friends, family, and communities can respond safely and effectively. Compassionate and urgent, For My Sister Nicole is both a necessary survivor narrative and a call to action, helping readers to better understand what happened to Nicole and learn how to recognize and support other people in danger.

“Shining a light on domestic violence while giving Nicole Brown Simpson her voice back.” The Guardian

“Activist Brown, the sister of Nicole Brown Simpson, sheds light in her harrowing debut on domestic abuse…Alongside memoiristic chapters and excerpts from Nicole’s journals, Brown shares resources, including information about finding local shelters, and chilling statistics, like those linking instances of nonfatal strangulation to a victim’s eventual death at the hands of their partner. The result is both a wrenching personal narrative and a vital call to action.” Publishers Weekly
