Real Strength Is In The Mind And Not The Fist You seem to have forgotten who you are here. This is my house. This is not your room, it is mine. When I want you to do something, you will do it. How quickly relationships can build you up and then, like a swift hurricane, tear you down and apart blinding you with helplessness. What began as an over seas journey to teach at a school in Haiti with her new found love Raffy, becomes an unexpected storm of the misunderstood and misaddressed throws of abuse and violence. In a country where she has no family or friends except for the children she hopes to inspire and protect, Miss Dana finds her life in danger and her entire reality blown apart within the bile of the exploitation and domination of herself and those she cares most for from communities, institutions and even her lover, Raffy. How can she both protect herself and stay with the children she has fallen so in love with? Through suspense and emotional uprise, Taylor Johnson pulls the reader into a world seldom understood by outsiders and those unwilling to open their eyes to oppression and violence. A story of empowerment and hope, The Awakening Of Miss Dana brings a dark truth about the exploitation, and physical and psychological abuse that occurs within families, institutions and entire communities, into the light. ~ Opeyemi Agbaje, CEO and Executive Director of OROL (Our Right, Our Life) initiative empowering the young with knowledge of sexual and reproductive health, rights, education and gender equality.

"No I will never be alright. I will always be hunted and tormented and truly I deserve to die." The story of Taylor’s life, has made me laugh, made me cry, and most importantly made me realize that while most people go through life and think they have it hard or rough, they have never walked a mile in the shoes of someone who has had it worse. She has AWAKENED me to the harsh realities that our native cultures have endured, and not through a history book lesson, but through the eyes of an individual who has survived it. She shows how domestic and cultural violence impacts society, and the individuals that have endured its most brutal lessons. Taylor has also showed that with a belief in one’s self, and with the power of love, that one can overcome steep adversity. Taylor was able to connect with me on a personal level, making it easier for me to understand exactly how and what she was feeling. The stories of her grandmothers let light into a world of pain, torment, and cruelty that spans multiple generations, and how it has impacted her life personally. It also allowed for the reader to experience the sub standard treatment of abused women and the cultural oppression of native cultures, both in her home country, and around the world. Allowing for the reader to see first hand, and to understand what true pain, abuse, and cruelty is. ~Mike Carey Business owner Noble Electric Portland, Indiana
