Dr. Francis describes her deep pride and commitment to her work, but also the painful treatment she experienced in the workplace, leading to depression and strain on her family.

Naked Truth by Jean D. Francis, Ph.D. is a perpetual test of self-restraint for a reader to refrain from screaming and throwing the book at the wall in frustration. I desperately wish I had the elegance and grace of Dr. Francis who over and over and over again hopes for change but is, at every turn, short-changed in a career that falls short of those hopes. She was a civil servant, employed by us, the taxpayer, and we should be angry. I am. Dr. Francis writes in a clear voice exactly what her obstacles are and readers will see just as clearly that her complaints are valid. A lengthy career that she gave her professional life to was destroyed and the people in positions of power who could have fixed this decided instead to belittle her, gaslight her....and then offer her a settlement because that's exactly what employers do when they know they are in the right, right? There are moments in the book that will give smiles. Photographs and stories of Dr. Francis' family are lovely, and her unwavering faith in God is noteworthy. I thank the author for her bravery and for sharing her story.
