One Saturday morning, Beverly Gooden is woken up by her husband shoving her off the bed for no discernible reason. Despite her quick thinking and even quicker footsteps, her husband catches her, his sudden anger unfathomable. No words are exchanged. He strangles her nearly to death.With unflinching vulnerability, Gooden outlines in painstaking detail what she had to do to walk away and how others can learn from her experiences. She offers strategies for overcoming the barriers survivors often come up against, such as money, logistics, social circles, or, most powerfully: love. Uniquely compassionate when it comes to the heartbreak of still loving one’s abuser, Gooden shares how she transformed and extended this love outward, using her story to encourage others to share their own. The voice and fire behind the #WhyIStayed, Gooden is uniquely positioned to explore the many reasons women stay in abusive relationships, and how they can muster the resources and motivation to leave.Surviving is an exquisitely powerful testament to Gooden’s healing, survivorship and dedication to helping others do the same.
