When I wrote the first edition of this book (2009), it was written as a reference book with the sole purpose of educating community awareness. Since then, I have dedicated my life to helping victims and survivors of sexual violence, domestic violence, racism, and bullying. The goal of this book is for victims and survivors of sexual violence and domestic violence to have a voice and to know that they are not alone with their victimization and recovery process. I also know what it means to walk in one's shoes, which is why I chose to talk about my own battles with anorexia, bulimia, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and sexual harassment victimization. I felt it was best to share some of my own related life events so that my readers can connect on a more personal level with whatever it is that they may be going through. Recovery is possible.
