I AM NOT YOUR ENEMY A Memoir

Now released from prison, former NSA linguist Reality Winner becomes all the more compelling with narrator Rachel Perry's measured performance. Perry captures Winner's earnest desire to be a patriot serving her country. It was Winner's passion for learning languages that led to her being awarded an Air Force Commendation Medal, though those actions gave her PTSD in the process. She describes her impulse to anonymously leak a five-page classified document revealing evidence that Russia had indeed interfered with the 2016 election. The many emotions Winner experienced from the ensuing fallout, including the pain of a one-sided trial (she could not speak on her own behalf), the horrors experienced while imprisoned, and the challenge of putting her shattered life back together, are all empathetically delivered by Perry.
