​
Reclaiming Power intertwines lived experiences with expert insights to deliver a poignant exploration of the effects of sexual assault and the resilience required to heal.
Through intimate interviews and profound introspection, author and advocate Danielle Leukam shares the accounts of twelve individuals’ harrowing journeys—from the darkness of their trauma to the triumph of their survival. Each narrative unfolds with unfiltered honesty, revealing the devastating impact of sexual violence on their lives.
Interwoven with these personal accounts are insights from licensed social workers who shed light on the complex and far-reaching effects of abuse. Their expert perspectives provide invaluable context, deepening our understanding of trauma and underscoring the urgent need for support and advocacy.
Reclaiming Power is more than a collection of experiences; it is a call to action, a plea for empathy and belief, and a testament to the indomitable spirit of survivors. It challenges us to listen, learn, and stand in solidarity with those who have been silenced for too long.
This book is essential for those committed to breaking the silence and advocating for a culture of empathy, compassion, and change around sexual violence.
