Happy Thanksgiving and Publication Day for Turning Trauma Into Triumph by Jennifer Gilmour
I have a couple of things to share with you today: For those of you in the USA Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope you are spending some time with loved ones today and eating good! For the past few years my family has done ‘Taco Thanksgiving’ and we are continuing it today. Today is the start of a long four day weekend, and it sounds like it is finally going to get cold and stay cold here in Georgia! And after today I can focus on Christmas and see if my tree will fit in my tiny apartment! I really hope it does!!!
And for today’s book news; Today is publication day for Jennifer Gilmour’s newest book: Turning Trauma Into Triumph!
Here is some information on Turning Trauma into Triumph in Jennifer’s own words:
The book was fully crowd funded on Kickstarter. (The link to the Kickstarter is here.)
Over a decade has passed since I fled the abuse I endured in my own home with the person who said they loved me.
Since then I have made it my mission to raise awareness of coercive control. Together we can work to eradicate this insidious and often unnoticed behaviour which is prevalent in an unacceptable number of relationships.
Book Description:
“Turning Trauma into Triumph” is a raw and inspirational collection of articles and blog posts written by Jennifer Gilmour, chronicling her journey from the depths of domestic abuse to the heights of recovery and empowerment.
Jennifer recounts her harrowing experiences detailing the psychological scars of the abuse she endured. Her truth begins with a seemingly innocent workplace friendship that rapidly devolves into a nightmare of control and manipulation. Despite the absence of physical bruises, the mental and emotional wounds run deep.
Through sheer resilience and the support of unexpected allies, Jennifer found the courage to escape and rebuild her life. She shares her transformative journey from victim to survivor, offering practical advice and critical resources for others facing similar challenges. Her narrative is interwoven with educational insights and reflections on the long-lasting impact of abuse.
Join Jennifer as she marks the eleventh anniversary of her escape and continues her path from pain to purpose. Whether you read it cover to cover or dip into specific sections, this book promises to inspire, educate, and empower.
Jennifer Gilmour is an award-winning author, blogger and advocate for women escaping abuse.

I’m so excited to see that Jennifer Gilmour’s latest publication is now available to buy on Amazon! I was one of her Kickstarter backers and helped to bring this book to life. This book is a deeply personal collection of articles and blog posts chronicling Jennifer’s journey escaping an abusive partner and into recovery. I have also worked with her over the years with previous books she has written and seen her grow as an author, and learn more about her true self! She is in the UK, but I really hope to be able to meet her one day.
Let’s break the silence surrounding domestic abuse and support survivors on their path to healing.
