- @Bilorv: The hook is compelling, but I've copyedited it to address some minor phrasing concerns. My alternative wording is provided above. My revision is substantially the same hook; here's my details explanation of the changes:
- I feel like leading with "... that in Nobody's Victim, [...]" is ambiguous and primes some possible misreadings of the hook—for example, it may suggest that the hook is a retelling of fictional events, or they may interpret Nobody's Victim as the title of a nonfiction work in which Goldberg discussed her inspiration for telling her story, rather than being the work in which her story itself was told. This is minor, but worth heading off all the same imo.
- I've replaced the second instance of the word "shared" with "entrusted". The first use of "share" here means, roughly, "shared openly with the world", but the second sense of "sharing with an attorney" is more complicated and far less casual. As an attorney and litigator, Goldberg would have engaged in confidential conversations with her (prospective) clients and become privy to many details of their lives; some of those details may have been legally irrelevant for purposes of filing legal action, yet still deeply "personal" and difficult to tell another person. These clients trusted her not only with publicly disclosing the necessary/relevant personal details but also, implicitly, with maintaining her professional/ethical duty of confidentiality regarding the rest. The word "entrusted" covers all the bases.
- I added the word "their own stories" to clarify that these were likewise stories of sexual violence (and, on a deeper level, that what Goldberg found inspiring was her clients' example of bravery, not some facet of their storytelling per se).
- Let me know what you think or if you have any objections/suggested changes, otherwise I'm happy to approve ALT1
