Reckoning Day

Oprah Winfrey said it best in her recent Golden Globes speech: "Speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have... And for too long, women have not been heard or believed." Welcome to the #MeToo Movement This book is part of this historic uprising. This day of reckoning has motivated hundreds of women around the globe from all walks of life to boldly find their voices and say "No More" to years of endured sexual abuse and harassment. This movement (and book) transcends any culture, geography, race, religion or politics. For far too long many men have coerced women (and some men) into remaining quiet about their bad behavior that is now privately and publicly no longer acceptable #TimesUp From Matt Lauer to Bill Cosby to Harvey Weinstein, daily, more abusive perpetrators are falling thanks to the strong and unified voices of women everywhere. This book takes a unique approach by revealing powerful stories from #MeToo survivors who have endured many difficulties and now feel compelled to share their truth. The book's moving accounts point to the abuse of power and the real impact it has had on its victims and their families. This book is timely now because the power is shifting in America (and beyond) with women like #MeToo founder Tarana Burke leading the way. While we will never know the names of many victims, every day, more and more women are becoming empowered to tell their stories. The women profiled in this book bravely stand up to inspire other women to do the same. For those who want to be motivated and encouraged through real-life stories, this is the book for you. "The new day is on the horizon," said Oprah forcefully Reading this book is certain to inspire MORE women to find their voice and take action to ensure that perpetrators are held responsible for their actions and that future generations of girls won't have to relive such dark experiences.
