All who have contributed to this book are strong. They’remade stronger by what they’ve lived through and all they’ve shared—with me and now with you. They are survivors, telling their stories for all to hear. They no longer want to be silenced. Instead, they tell their stories to help others, and as a way to restore their power.  \nPlease do not diminish their stories and voices by ignoring their power. Instead, be strengthened by knowing that you may be able to help someone by sharing these stories or the knowledge you learn from reading them.  \nAgain, please take care of yourself as you read. You may need to put the book down for a time. You may need to reach out to loved ones or find help through support systems or emergency services. Please remember that you are not alone.
