BOOK:
"As an adult, I now know all the things that could have happened to me being alone in the woods. In reality though, all those things were already happening to me, so I felt safer amongst the trees." - Yawavi (Amongst The Trees) Amongst The Trees is an excellently written book documenting the trials and tribulations of little Yawavi as she navigates through a world or abuse, violence and hopelessness. Finding her refuge, guidance and safety in no other place than Amongst The Trees, now an adult she humbly, yet shamelessly tells her story to help set others free. "This book is a labor of love. It is one woman's story and unfortunately, it is one amongst way too many. It's time that we not only listen to, but share our stories, without shame or guilt. When we do so, we let others know that it is okay to do the same. Yawavi has taken up this mantle and is leading the charge! An inspiration to anyone who has ever endured abuse of any form, be it as a child or an adult, her story will capture your heart and empower you to join her in carrying this torch of healing and deliverance." - Yandea Hai El (Founder of MamaSays Publishing & The Aba’Ma Healing Way) |
