Acknowledgements

I would like to acknowledge all the women who shared their stories with me and graciously allowed me to write about their experiences. They gave generously of their time and wisdom, often reliving very painful memories in the process. In every case, they did so because they were eager to help others. Their selfless courage was my inspiration.
