""Anjanette Young understands that our silence will not protect us. In the face of trauma and cruelty, her willingness to speak truth to power, her courage, her resilience, and her advocacy are an inspiration."" --Eve L. Ewing, Associate Professor, Department of Race, Diaspora, and Indigeneity, University of Chicago, and New York Times bestselling author of Original Sins

""Anjanette's testimony is clear: God, and God alone, preserved her life. In this courageous book, Anjanette refuses to let trauma have the final word. Her story is more than one of survival amid the injustice she suffered at the hands of a broken system. It is a witness to the keeping power of God. This is not only a testimony of her resilience but also an invitation to healing, offering wisdom from a professional therapist along with spiritual reflection for anyone searching to make sense of God's presence in the midst of traumatic experiences. I commend Anjanette for telling the truth, and admonishing us that even in the darkest of valleys, God is there and can turn what the enemy meant for evil into good."" --Dr. Charlie Dates, Senior Pastor, Progressive Chicago and Salem Baptist Church ""Anjanette Young understands that our silence will not protect us.
