False Memories

In 1991, Lynn Crook successfully sued her parents for sexually abusing her as a child. But by 1994, a sinister concept had seized headlines and the public imagination: the idea that therapists could implant "false memories" in their patients, particularly survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Despite having won her case in court, Lynn suddenly found herself confronted with suspicion and mistrust from the outside, and a new level of psychological turmoil from within.

Determined to investigate the "false memories" story and its grip on the news cycle, Crook uncovered a shocking discovery: a well-planned, highly successful $7.75 million-dollar media campaign by accused parents to silence adults who had been molested as children.

This is the story of Crook's case against her parents, her investigation into the "false memories" narrative, and her exposure of the organized publicity campaign that upended countless lives through gaslighting and manipulation. This harrowing, meticulously-researched account is also a story of hope: a testament to the enduring strength of abuse survivors, and a revelatory exposé on the tactics used to question and undermine them to this day.
