Worldwide, it is estimated that 4.8 million women are sexually exploited and that exploitation generates 99 billion dollars annually.

Sexual violence is epidemic—and is often perpetrated by a vast and insidious business of rape for profit. In an age of online social networks, not even a zip code can offer protection from trolling predators. Brave in Real Life is a collection of stories from women who have not only survived sexual violence and exploitation but have overcome their traumatic past. As shining lights and beacons of hope, their courage, faith, and resilience will both move and inspire you.

“Brave in Real Life is a collection of stories woven with terror and triumph. Each tale of survival is tenderly retold even while exposing the insidious entrapment of trafficking. Be prepared to have your heart pulled and your life empowered to help prevent this tragedy.”
—LISA BEVERE, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR

“Brave in Real Life digs its teeth into the raw underbelly of evil and pulls everything out into the open. It’s a powerful reminder that our past does not determine our future and that redemption is possible for absolutely everyone.”
—PAUL BURNS, MANAGING DIRECTOR, TWITTER

“This book beautifully amplifies the voices of those we overlook. Their stories resonate with heartbreak and courage. Don’t turn away. This message is too important.”
—CRAIG GREENFIELD, FOUNDER, ALONGSIDERS INTERNATIONAL; AUTHOR, SUBVERSIVE JESUS

“Brave in Real Life will not only inspire you but has the potential to change your life. More than mere rhetoric about living bravely, Guy Chevreau shares true stories of courage and hope that desperately need to be told.”
