Olivia Empson , The Guardian; The US librarian who sued book ban harassers: ‘I decided to fight back’
"While Jones was able to turn her situation around and make a success of her experience with the upcoming book, the journey wasn’t easy. Hate still lingers in the community she grew up in and lives in, and she’s lost friends and acquaintances over the rumors that were spread about her.
“One of the chapters is a play on Michelle Obama’s quote: when they go low, you go high,” Jones concluded.
“When I wrote my story, I tried to go high. I hope that no one harasses the men who harassed me. I just wanted to be honest, truthful, diplomatic.”
That Librarian: The Fight Against Book Banning in America will be published on 27 August."
