More importantly, Bev chronicled her memoir in such a way that the readers can experience the highs and lows of her emotion, journey, and champion her resiliency. Bev used her memoir to educate her readers on the effects of violence from an impacted individual's perspective, the physical and emotional toll violence has on its victim, and how we can learn to cope and not let abuse define who we are or leave us broken. Bev says anyone impacted by abuse can recover and go on to live a happy, healthy, resilient life once they make the decision that enough is enough and step out in faith, walking away from their abuser and abusive situation.Finally, while Bev supports all individuals impacted by violence, she is passionate about working with women and girls in a shared experience so that every woman and girl can feel safe, supported, loved, listened to, and respected.
