King Kong & The Hat Lady by Agnes Ginoba is a memoir of surviving thirty-three years of domestic abuse.

The book is dedicated “to all survivors of domestic abuse, women and men, across the United States and around the world” who have “suffered in silence” and “carried invisible scars.” Ginoba, known as “The Hat Lady” for her 400-plus hats, recounts her journey from Sierra Leone to Virginia, where her charming husband became controlling and violent. Blending spiritual reflection with practical advice for survivors, Ginoba offers hope without sugarcoating the cost. Her message: endurance without safety is not strength, and choosing peace is the bravest act of all.
