This could be anyone's story... it could be yours.
From the book - "Realization the word shame still controls me, my emotions, my ability to talk openly. At first I did not want to talk out loud, I thought people would not want to hear... or their opinion of me would change. I know now that none of that thinking applies. It is shame, my own shame to overcome."
the book is extremely emotional- incredibly vulnerable and eye opening to the things we don’t see behind the scenes for victims of sexual assault- what an incredible journey to healing and such strength to overcome 🖤
This. I can feel time stop. Silence lingers and breath waits as I read your story. Then the angry tears... (their only purpose? Sting my cheeks.) Floods of emotion as I'm so proud of your bravery! And encouraged to open my heart to help wherever I am called in this very important cause that regrettably affects too many of us. The only shame is in how any survivor is made to feel they cannot share their story! Thank you.
When did the book come together, did it evolve slowly? How did it start and how do you feel about it past, present, and any future plans for it? It is an moving emotional work! Where have you shared it and what kind of responses did it bring?
