Product description Review The stories in Terror to Triumph are honest, deeply personal and gut-wrenching. They are stories of absolute courage, heartfelt determination and indomitable spirit. The writers have overcome so much to reclaim their freedom and their lives. All of them have developed incredible strategies for survival and healing that they share with the reader. I salute you all and consider it a privilege and an honour to have joined you in the workshop weekend as you unpacked your stories and your incredible bravery. This book is triumphant, and a must read! Fiona Ware, women's advocate, facilitator and children's authorPowerful, raw, unrestricted, brilliant. An incredible insight into the daily fight for survival happening behind closed doors Australia-wide. This book is not just for people wishing to find the strength to leave a violent relationship or heal emotional scars from past relationships. This book is for every mother, father, son, daughter, best friend or colleague of someone who has experienced violence. ​​​​​​​Paul Ferry, Executive Director, Safe Haven CommunityThe individuals who penned their stories in this book, of what would have been an immensely painful chapter of their lives, are truly selfless. Through their words, they provide hope to those who need it most - those who may be unsure of how to start the rebuilding journey. It opens the door to the truth that, after the darkness, your inner light will shine again. ​​​​​​​Annette Westermann, 2017 Westpac Foundation AmbassadorA truly inspirational read - although impossible to get through one story without tears. These survivors are very courageous, and we thank them for sharing their stories with us. ​​​​​​​The Community Underwriting TeamWriting my story has changed my life. It has taken the perpetual loop of anxiety-streamed flashbacks and ordered it with dignity, flow and finally release. 'It' - the abuse story - has lost its grip on my life story. A chapter, yes, but not the final one. Here's to the one person that may read my story and gather hope to break free from Domestic Terror. Here's to all the other survivors' stories, and to the ones who need hope. May our lives continue to shine on triumphantly. ​​​​​​​Author of Terror to Triumph Chapter 12: To the One Who Loved and Hurt MeSome say bravery is going to war, some say it's facing your fears... sometimes, it's just having the courage to choose to survive.These stories are stories of survival, of bravery, and have touched my heart and soul. ​​​​​​​Tegan Philpott, Mornings Presenter, ABC Mackay
