Editorial Reviews

"This book offers faith, courage and dignity to women who have survived the destructive and selfish actions of abusive men. Susan's message is 'Don't settle for anything less than a life that is better than ever.' She knows that women can do it and by the time a woman has worked her way through this excellent guidebook for healing, she will believe it, too."

Lundy Bancroft

"Susan begins with a rare insight – that what makes a battered woman is not what the abuser has done to her but what he has kept her from doing for herself – and then takes her readers on a jubilant journey of self-realization. On the way, Susan helps them remake their world and get back in touch with their power and possibility."

Evan Stark PhD, MSW

"Susan's guide will touch a responsive chord in women who have been abused and those who advocate for them. Susan's creativity, her inspirational workshops and her own personal journey make this book a 'must read' for anyone interested in the empowerment of women."
