Inspiring Women

This audiobook highlights stories of women who have felt invisible at some point and now open up to share how they went from "invisible" to "invincible". Not all of the stories are about domestic violence, but it is rampant throughout the world, and we want to put a spotlight on some of the staggering statistics relating to domestic violence.
