- You were a victim the moment it happened, but you don't have to remain one any longer...

If you are like so many people who've experienced trauma, and you're left wondering, Why did this happen? How can I heal? You're not alone.

In this book, seasoned Ghostwriter and Nonfiction Book Writing Coach, Sheree Trask vulnerably shares her personal journey of healing after trauma, and the silence that followed her big, scary secret. As an outspoken, charismatic young girl, saying what was on her mind had always come easily. It wasn't until she was sexually assaulted at 19 that her voice lost it's power, and she found herself sitting on the sidelines of her life. During her nearly decade long silent struggle, holed up in hospital rooms with a myriad of unexplained illnesses, she found the courage to go inward and honor her body's whispers-determined to heal. This is her story, and the story of so many others grappling with the confusing, often unanswered question after trauma-why did this happen...to me?

This book will leave you feeling hopeful, inspired and encouraged to keep going. And if you need a reminder that you're worthy and capable of healing, no matter what you've been through-it will provide that, too. In a world plagued by trauma and the aftermath it leaves, it takes insane courage to rise above the noise and choose yourself. It can feel impossible to let go of the pain and find purpose in our experiences but when we give ourselves the space to feel and heal our "broken" parts, we open ourselves to love.

It was through healing the relationship with herself, and having the courage to speak up and be seen that Sheree was able to accept the gift in her pain-and share that gift with the world. She will take you on a journey of self discovery, inviting you to rediscover and reclaim the forgotten pieces you've stashed away, while learning to love all of yourself-as you are now. It's time to let go of the shame of your story and be brave with your life. It's time to live...

Unapologetically out loud.

Let this book be your guidepost-a healing path home, back to yourself and into the freedom and peace available to you. This book is for you, warrior. Always remember, you are never alone.
