What does it take to truly make an impact in this world?

Author Dr. Vilma Luz Cabán, well known as an educator and dedicated champion for women impacted by domestic violence and social and economic inequalities, has blazed a trail of success and passion. In her wide-ranging and often heart-wrenching memoir, Cabán weaves her personal experiences and lessons from her survival with her deepest wish to change the course of cycles of abuse for women everywhere.

She succeeds in shining a light on a reality often kept in the shadows, and offers hope for a way out and a better tomorrow. Vilma shares how a bruised and broken heart can become the heart of an advocate. And that advocates can make all of the difference.
