She shares her unflinching story of trauma, betrayal, and the fight to reclaim her voice—offering insight and empowerment for anyone who has felt trapped, silenced, or overlooked.

A proud Latina, public interest lawyer, and educator, Dovie spent her career fighting for others while privately enduring a relationship that would test everything she believed about justice—culminating in a years-long legal battle and divorce that exposed the dark side of the system meant to protect her, but also sparked her transformation.This is not a story of blame. It’s a story of survival.

In Survivor at Law, you’ll discover:

• A raw, intelligent memoir of trauma, divorce, narcissistic abuse, and family court battles
• How to reclaim your voice when the legal system fails
• Wisdom and resilience gained through surviving betrayal and coercion
• A story that resonates with listeners of Chanel Miller, Tara Westover, and Jennette McCurdy

For anyone who has felt invisible in their pain, this memoir offers a rare combination of hard-won insight, dark humor, and hope.

"A story of rising—grief-stricken, wiser, and louder. Because silence was never the end of her story."

Powerful, Raw, Fearless, and Darkly Funny!

Survivor at Law isn’t just a memoir — it’s a reckoning. Dovie King tells her story with unflinching honesty, dark humor, and the kind of insight that only comes from surviving the unthinkable and then daring to fight back. Hearing the voice on Audible adds another layer of power — you can feel every ounce of pain, resilience, and determination behind each word.

As a survivor myself, I found parts of this book gut-wrenching, but also deeply validating. Dovie pulls back the curtain on how the legal system often retraumatizes the very people it’s supposed to protect. Yet she also shows that healing and justice — even imperfect justice — are still possible.

This audiobook is both heartbreaking and empowering. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt silenced or dismissed, and for anyone who wants to understand how courage looks in real life. By the end, I was cheering for her — and for every survivor who refuses to be defined by their abuse.
