The Sabotaged Girl

The Sabotaged Girl is a powerful and deeply moving account written by Dionne Simpson, a survivor of domestic, spiritual, and sexual abuse. Drawing from her own experiences and the anonymous stories of other women, Dionne exposes the hidden realities of abuse within faith settings—where perpetrators misuse positions of power and trust to control, exploit, and harm.

Through raw storytelling, this book shines a light on the intersections of race, religion, and gender, showing how abuse can thrive in environments where silence and denial too often prevail. More than just a memoir, The Sabotaged Girl is a tool for education and empowerment—helping faith communities, leaders, and supporters.
