This book addresses the physical, mental and emotional challenges that trauma survivors face and provides supportive guidance for the different paths that can be taken in healing.""--Breanna Heisterkamp, BSN, RN, PHN, SANE-A, SANE-P ""In a world that can be callous and dismissive of rape victims and their experiences, Cheyenne is a light in the darkness.
