This collection of poems and life stories comes from survivors. Not the so-called Reality TV variety, but those among us who have felt the full pain of abuse in it's many forms, and the on-going doubt and torment that goes with everyday life and the slow process of recovery.
No one could help but be moved by any of the stories inside these covers, but many will see themselves reflected in the eyes of the authors who have learned to live an independent life again, and just may see hope for themselves amidst the hurt.
If this book helps just one person on their path to recovery, then all the time and effort on the part of all those who have contributed has been amply repaid.
