SAN FRANCISCO - s4story -- Long before the #MeToo movement, Rachel started sharing what it was like to grow up and live with the constant trauma of childhood sexual abuse, sexual harassment, and other sexual crimes in her award-winning memoirs, Broken Pieces, and Broken Places.

Her newest release, Broken People, is the third and final book in this series. Rachel continues to explore, through hard-hitting essays and lyrical poetry, the difficulties, and joys of navigating relationships, healing, and love in an environment not always conducive to survivors.

Broken People is a book of courage, resilience, and overcoming challenges, Rachel faced as a survivor. Through all three books in the series, Rachel has courageously shared her truth and her life journey. It's not all rosy and pretty, and that's the beauty of these books. They represent the truth of a survivor, a mother, an empowered person who was made to believe she has no charge in her life but challenged that and emerged on the other side. These books have not only allowed her to share her experiences openly, but they also provide hope, guidance, and a way forward for girls and women who feel they have no hope left in them.
