Synopsis:

Why do so many women stay in abusive relationships? Why do some fail to their potential? Why do so many avoid taking risks? These are good questions, but it might be more illuminating to ask why some women are able to escape their abusers, or take huge risks and become conspicuously successful? The authors asked these questions and found an interesting answer. Each of the women they spoke with had experienced a moment of transcendence - a moment in which their fear was overcome by one brief flash of insight they would eventually recognize as courage. The text examines the common and often unconscious fears women face in abusive situations and explains how readers can protect themselves in situations where real fears are justified. It encourages readers to face fears that prevent achievement of potential, offering specific ways for wome to help themmselves, find solutions to problems, and make positive life choices.
