Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Real Strength Is In The Mind And Not The Fist You seem to have forgotten who you are here. This is my house. This is not your room, it is mine. When I want you to do something, you will do it. How quickly relationships can build you up and then, like a swift hurricane, tear you down and apart blinding you with helplessness. What began as an over seas journey to teach at a school in Haiti with her new found love Raffy, becomes an unexpected storm of the misunderstood and misaddressed throws of abuse and violence. In a country where she has no family or friends except for the children she hopes to inspire and protect, Miss Dana finds her life in danger and her entire reality blown apart within the bile of the exploitation and domination of herself and those she cares most for from communities, institutions and even her lover, Raffy. How can she both protect herself and stay with the children she has fallen so in love with? Through suspense and emotional uprise, Taylor Johnson pulls the reader into a world seldom understood by outsiders and those unwilling to open their eyes to oppression and violence. A story of empowerment and hope, The Awakening Of Miss Dana brings a dark truth about the exploitation, and physical and psychological abuse that occurs within families, institutions and entire communities, into the light. ~ Opeyemi Agbaje, CEO and Executive Director of OROL (Our Right, Our Life) initiative empowering the young with knowledge of sexual and reproductive health, rights, education and gender equality.
