Donna McLean is a warrior among women. "Small Town Girl" is a brave, unflinching account of her unwitting, non-consensual, involvement with a spy cop. She relays her experience with honesty and integrity, illustrating the incredible toll the process of seeking justice has taken on her, and the other women in similar situations. 

I'm so angry! My eyes were popping out of my head as I read. How can this behaviour be sanctioned? It really does beggar belief and I'm extremely grateful to Donna McLean for claiming her space and sharing her pain, in order that we can learn lessons. I fervently hope that we do. 

McLean's account is heartbreaking. It's painfully shocking to realise that the very people tasked with keeping all of us safe can be so cruel and self-serving. I can only imagine how it must feel to live through such an experience. "Small Town Girl" is an engaging, eye-opening read and I highly recommend it. I hope this is the beginning of a long, and successful, writing career for Donna McLean.
