In October 2016, Lynn Hamilton found herself doubled over a sidewalk experiencing her
second anxiety attack.
That was the impact of the threats and subterfuge from work colleagues she once thought
she could trust. And her story is by no means unique. Though few of their stories are known,
thousands of people experience bullying in the workplace. Fear of retaliation, a desire to
forget, or a lack of evidence are just some of the reasons why these stories remain hidden.
Divided into four gripping sections, this memoir delves deep into Hamilton’s harrowing lived
experience. From deteriorating trust and collaboration with her manager and coworkers, to
the insomnia that then began to cloud her judgement, Hamilton spares no detail in the
recount of her torment and abuse.
With courage and help, Hamilton finally chose to speak up.
Would there be a breakthrough?
‘Blood in the Water’ is a raw and powerful testament to resilience, highlighting the importance
of addressing workplace bullying and the profound lessons that emerge from the depths of
adversity.
