Step Inside Her Story

You may recognize her name. You may have heard the whispers. Now, for the first time, Dovie King tells her story—unfiltered.

Inspired by real events, Survivor at Law is a powerful memoir of survival, justice, and reclaiming your voice. Blending lived experience with emotional truth and creative interpretation, this debut offers a rare, intimate look at what it means to fight back from within the systems meant to protect us.

Part legal drama, part trauma-informed testimony, Survivor at Law exposes how coercive control hides in plain sight—and how silence too often protects the powerful. With sharp insight and dark humor, King brings readers into the hidden world of family court, psychological abuse, and the long shadow of legal retaliation.

A proud Latina, San Diego-based lawyer, educator, and daughter of immigrants, Dovie King spent years advocating for workers and survivors—while privately enduring a relationship that challenged everything she knew about justice, feminism, and the law. Her decade-long legal ordeal after divorce pushed her to the edge—and ultimately, to the page.

This is not a story of blame. It’s a story of courage.

Survivor at Law is raw, reflective, and fiercely honest. For those who’ve been watching, wondering, or whispering—this is the version she chose to share.

Pre-order now. Because silence was never her ending.
