Author Description

From trauma and abuse to freedom. Find out how ten tenacious women from around the world are learning to overcome their fears, creating a new blueprint for their lives, and embracing an innovative path to healing. Ten empowering real-life survivor-led stories exposing the harsh realities of living with intimate partner or non-intimate partner abuse. Women of all ages, religions and cultural backgrounds uniting with one common goal in mind – to share with the world how they have all reinvented themselves from victims to survivors. Female empowerment and inspiration is at the core of every co-author's chapter, capturing the hearts and souls of every reader. Hear their voices of strength, courage, hope and resilience. This anthology highlights the myriad of challenges these women have endured for many years and openly share the pivotal moment in their lives when they decided that they deserved a better life. They have loved, they have lost, they have questioned their own mortality, and yet through agony they have found hope, confidence, new careers and healthy relationships. Donna Anne Pace conceived this global anthology project in 2018 after breaking her silence and declaring to the world that she is no longer a victim of domestic violence, but a survivor. Donna then reached out to women across social media groups, blogs, organisations and to women within her network in order to provide reassurance, hope, support and the amazing offer of giving a female survivor a voice. It is her mission for every co-author to feel like they have had an emotional weight lifted from their shoulders, to feel stronger, more confident and realise their self-worth, in turn, enabling every reader to embrace and mirror these powerful human emotions.
