Shadow to Light – Transformational Journeys from Abuse & Betrayal to Empowerment by Sasha Samy

Why do some people attract bullies or abusive partners, or engage in self-sabotaging or self-destructive behaviors? Shadow To Light is an inspirational book that celebrates the sacredness of life through the triumph of dignity, courage, and self-empowerment. Sasha Samy hopes that by sharing the transformational stories of conscious choices and forgiveness, others will garner the courage to confront and transcend their experiences. With poignant personal anecdotes, penetrating insights, psychological research and spiritual teachings, Samy integrates a practical and holistic approach to healing and transformation in her book.
