As trauma survivors living in times of political disarray and pandemic, we embody hope when we keep moving forward, one stubborn step after another, like walking through steady rain. We also embody hope when we take shelter for protection and rest. How does the force of hope feel inside you right now?

With the help of this book, name the truth of your past and present. Explore your body and emotions. Celebrate endurance. Relate with kindness. Give and receive support. Beyond surviving, take action toward a more equitable world.

Sonia’s tender, compassionate writings gently lead us along paths to listening inward with open-hearted kindness and embracing the feelings and parts of ourselves we’ve long been encouraged to disregard and/or judge. This heartful collection offers an oasis of healing for our parched souls.—Robyn Posin, Ph.D., author of “Go Only As Fast As Your Slowest Part Feels Safe To Go”
