Heidi Stevens

Words to live by: Chicago Tribune columnist Heidi Stevens on Lived Through This.
Heidi Stevens, the creator of the Chicago Tribune's "Balancing Act" column, wrote an 11/1 piece about the power and purpose of Lived Through This, calling Patricia and Anne's book "Heartbreaking but also hopeful in its belief that people's stories matter. Its most beautiful virtue is that it's not the story of 18 assaults… it's the story of 18 humans who found the courage to share one part — one enormous part — of their histories with us."

About Lived Through This.
Lived Through This has been called "Revelatory … a book graced with hope, humanity and compassion" (Kirkus Reviews), "Inspiring … a testimony to human resiliency" (Chicago Tribune), "Eloquent … Ream compels the reader to match her unflinching gaze, finding the common threads that connect an incredibly diverse community" (Publishers Weekly), and "Beautifully rendered and heartfelt" (author Eve Ensler).

100% of the night's Lived Through This book sales will support our Voices and Faces Project Stories We Tell testimonial writing workshop as it travels to eight North American cities in 2015.
