Whistleblower - Paperback

by Amy Block Joy (Author)

Whistleblower is the chilling true story of what happens when someone with a lifelong habit of going along to get along is confronted with criminal activity that can't be ignored. Amy Block Joy - scientist, faculty member, and educator - was happy conducting research while administering a $14 million program for poor families. Certainly, nothing that she had previously experienced prepared her for the resistance, collusion, and retaliation she encountered when she discovered embezzlement at the University where she had worked for more than 30 years. What seemed like a simple path to justice turned into a nightmare that left her without friends or allies and threatened the end of an accomplished and respected career. This is the stunning true account of one woman's resolve to tell the truth at any cost.
