Résumé :
Domestic violence is more common than most people think. It crosses cultural, economic, gender, educations, sexual orientation, and age borders. Abuse can happen to multiple people within a household or only one individual. It can come in a variety of forms: physical abuse, verbal or nonverbal abuse (psychological, mental, emotional) abuse, sexual abuse, financial abuse or even spiritual abuse. More likely than not, a survivor will experience several types of abuse at the hand of the abuser. This book is a collection of stories from survivors of domestic violence. The mission of this book is to raise awareness and spread hope to those suffering at the hands of an abuser. Each author has bravely shared the story of their journey from surviving to thriving in hopes that those who read this will truly be touched and realize that they, too, can overcome the bleakest of circumstances to live a life that thrives and not just survives.
