Disasters happen! These are the stories of love and loss, death, and destruction. Many victims died in disasters. These are the stories of how survivors live and strike back. Survivors were trapped, but then set free when they were rescued! The question of life and death was asked when victims were stranded without food and water or left to die from their injuries. Some are man-made disasters, while others are natural disasters. The survivors of disasters include child abuse victims, domestic violence survivors, battered wives, war veterans, orphans, riots survivors, and victims of the terrorist attacks. These survivors live to tell the tale after seeing a natural disaster such as deadly storms.

In a world where darkness can seem impenetrable, A Survivor's Secrets emerges as a testament to the indomitable power of the human spirit and the transformative nature of God's love. Just as she emerged from years of childhood physical and sexual abuse, Gina Cavallo found herself ensnared for nearly three years in the clutches of human traffickers, enduring the unspeakable horrors of prostitution. After a harrowing escape, Gina spent the next three decades shackled by fear, shame, and a crushing sense of worthlessness as she concealed her painful past--even from her husband. Her tale is ultimately one of resilience, courage, and eventual liberation. Today, Gina is a prominent speaker, advocate, and mentor for survivors of human trafficking. A Survivor's Secrets will ... increase your understanding of the human trafficking crisis, strengthen your resolve for change, provide insight into the mechanisms used to lure people, and inspire you to advocate for those trapped in bondage. You will discover God's astounding power to free anyone of the grip of fear, shame, and worthlessness that holds so many captive. Witnessing Gina's pathway to recovery becomes a guided tour to inviting God's brilliant light to penetrate even the darkest memories and traumas that we or our loved ones have been enduring.

Healing Answers from a Survivor includes pages of practical information and strategies to make your journey from victim to survivor a possibility. I have included every aspect of surviving abuse that I have personally encountered. Consequently, it is a very detailed and comprehensive book spanning most areas. There are countless situations that arise from having been abused, and I have included the answers that I used to help me to recover. Regardless of our stories, the emotions that we experience are all the same; indeed, conditional and unconditional love, sorrow, fear, anxiety, hate, and anger all feature strongly with abuse. Our body issues, emotional problems, and issues with power and control are discussed. Remembering the abuse and facing the heartbreaking truth are all part of the healing process. Ultimately, to heal we need to acknowledge and release the accompanying emotions, break our previously learned patterns of behavior, and focus positively on our recovery, both now and into the future. Most importantly, we need to become survivors, not victims, martyrs, rescuers, or abusers. I believe that true recovery comes when we heal and become survivors by standing in our truth and taking full responsibility for our lives. It is possible to heal, take back your personal power, and become a survivor, like I did. With love, Wendy x

Despite the current survivor-affirming awareness around sexual violence, child sexual abuse, most notably when it’s a family member or friend, is still a very taboo topic. There are approximately 42 million child sexual abuse survivors in the U.S. and millions of bystanders who look the other way as the abuse occurs and cover for the harm-doers with no accountability. Documentary filmmaker and survivor of child sexual abuse and adult rape, Aishah Shahidah Simmons invites diasporic Black people to join her in transformative storytelling that envisions a world that ends child sexual abuse without relying on the criminal justice system. Love WITH Accountability features compelling writings by child sexual abuse survivors, advocates, and Simmons’s mother, who underscores the detrimental impact of parents/caregivers not believing their children when they disclose their sexual abuse. This collection explores disrupting the inhumane epidemic of child sexual abuse, humanely.
