Surviving

Surviving is a powerful and nuanced memoir that explores why domestic violence victims stay with their abusers and how they can leave and survive. Beverly Gooden shares her personal experiences and strategies for overcoming the barriers that survivors often face, including money, housing, and love. With unflinching vulnerability, she offers compassionate and practical advice for those seeking to escape their own abuse. This book is an exquisitely powerful testament to Gooden’s healing, survivorship, and dedication to helping others do the same.
