Author Brenda Dempsey, domestic abuse survivor, helps brave women to have their voices heard in a new book
Bravery is not just about the big heroic occasions that make the headlines. True bravery can be found in the day to day choices that are made by everyday people who find themselves faced with dark and dangerous situations. It is when they are faced with unexpected choices of either confronting the challenge head on or of running away to fight another day. It is these stories, that can be the most inspirational.
Brenda Dempsey, is author of the new book, Voices of Courage, and is herself a survivor of domestic abuse and homelessness. She is on a mission to help give voice to other courageous women who have either been victims or have demonstrated exceptional qualities by overcoming seemingly impossible challenges.
Over the past year, Brenda Dempsey has been collecting the brave stories of ordinary women, from around the world, who have had to make extra-ordinary choices. By sharing their experiences, she wants to give others hope and the inspiration to get through the challenges that life can throw at us all.
Published by filament Publishing Ltd, the new book will be launched in the Institute of Directors, in London’s Pall Mall on Tuesday 22nd January where Brenda will be joined by a number of her co-authors who will be telling their stories.
