Book Reviews Dr. West, your voice and vision eloquently blended a work of voices for educating and healing on an issue that effects massive numbers of people. It has helped to inspire me to use my traumatic experience as more energy to work in this movement in combating and educating about violence against women. I am sure your important works will continue to bless thousands, if not millions of women, men and children for many years to come. With tears I say: Thank You. --Kit Evans (survivor and more about her work) 6/4/2017 24
