About the Book

This non-fiction book is written in a unique and authentic style with the greatest passion possible. Considered rousing and controversial, the material and sentiments are in no way sugar-coated. For with this honest style and the sharing of information, it is believed that there is real potential to affect change.

The author processes and purges the painful and crazy-making events of her life, illustrating bureaucracy at its worst. Elements of conspiracy, faulty investigation, toxic work environments and dealings with lawyers, judges and their unethical legal system are present. It is the book's premise that the societal issues of bullying and misuse of power are perpetuated by the government. It is all by design, facilitated by a faulty legal system.

Desiring her story to be more than outlining the many faults of the government, the complex societal problem is examined. Delving into others' stories, the magnitude of the problem is clearly identified. Extensive research into the problem of bullying and misuse of power is conducted. Movies, books and contemporary media are creatively used to understand the phenomenon. Many factions of society are critiqued. The lack of accountability is forefront. The essence of the battle of good versus evil presides.

Solution-based, The Brutal Truth is a tool to instill empowerment for change. References to others' works and specific methods addressing these issues, inclusive of an interactive organizational design, are highlighted.

About hope and survival, a battle is fought, and she is armed with The Brutal Truth.

About the Author

On January 12, 1964, Marilyn Garshowitz was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and still resides there.

She had various careers prior to her commitment to the Brutal Truth project. She was a security officer during her full-time attendance at Toronto's York University. After graduating with her three-year degree focused in psychology, she worked with troubled youths. Much of her work was as a correctional officer with young offenders at York Detention Centre. During these years, Marilyn continued various career-oriented courses and returned to York University to complete her Honours degree. Her courses included independent studies which were at a significantly advanced level. One study led to a co-authored publication in a psychology journal. The other study was conducted at Syl Aps, a correctional facility for young offenders in Oakville, Ontario and was also a paid research assistant position.

Incidents occurred which necessitated retraining for a career in the financial sector. Marilyn completed various courses for the insurance, mutual funds and securities industries, such as the Canadian Securities Course and the Branch Managers exam. She obtained the required licenses and advanced to various positions, even that of a financial advisor.

It is Marilyn's vast experience in employment as well as in her personal life and her formal education that all contribute to her extensive knowledge and obvious passion on the subjects of misuse of power and bullying. Marilyn, an inherently kind and compassionate human being, endured numerous setbacks, but managed to persevere in the face of adversity.
