"In my work as founder of the multi-national nonprofit PAVE: Promoting Awareness, Victim Empowerment, I have seen that the damage that violence has on families is immeasurable. Sally Rice's debut book, an autobiography, is teeming with wit and shatters the silence of violence with humor and intellect. Eloquently written, this book is nearly impossible to put down and is a recommended read for a multidisciplinary audience from professors to therapists or any person with a personal connection to healing from a cycle of violence."-- Angela Rose, founder of PAVE
