A unique story of perseverance and courage:

This story is based on actual events. Surviving Sybil tells the story of the author, a middle-aged white woman on an upward career path at the Internal Revenue Service until she gets a new boss - a black female manager - who has other ideas about the future of this employee.

The author details the numerous incidents of verbal abuse and disparate treatment she received while working for a superior she could never satisfy. Fortunately, many of those discriminatory actions were witnessed by the author's own employees - and her fellow IRS managers. After two emotionally charged years of enduring a hostile work environment and struggling - without success - to satisfy her new boss, the author finally decides to take the appropriate legal action through the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. She and her husband join forces to fight the federal bureaucracy and right this terrible and unjust wrong.

Enjoy the riveting action at the EEOC hearing and the subsequent legal developments in the author's attempt at ultimate justice.
