The Collection

One memoir. Two guided journals. Three ways to reflect, heal, and reconnect with your strength.

Cover of the book 'Why I Survived' with the subtitle 'Where Survival Becomes Strength.' The background is blue and white, resembling the sky. Two white doors stand open, and a silhouetted woman walks through them toward calm water, facing a sunrise, symbolizing hope and transformation.

Why I Survived

A story of reflection, resilience, healing, and learning that even the hardest chapters can lead to strength.

Why I Survived: Where Survival Becomes Strength is Jennifer Lee’s personal story of survival, faith, and the strength forged through trauma. Through honest reflection, she speaks to the woman who is healing after fear, rebuilding her sense of safety, and choosing faith over fear one step at a time.

This is more than a survivor memoir. It’s a reminder that survival is not the end of the story; strength, healing, and purpose are still possible.

Book Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is an inspirational collection of real-life stories that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Employing grace, honesty and candor, the author shares experiences that impacted her life as well as her insights as a survivor. I recommend this collection to anyone who has experienced trauma and is seeking a way forward.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

From the get-go, Jen’s forthcoming and honest account of experiences shows how far she’s come with therapy and support. Many times we ignore our “spidey-sense” and justify the bad behavior of others. Jen’s easy read and riveting story shows how kind, trusting woman, seeking what we all seek — love — can be deceived.

As her life progresses, her next tragedy is terrifying. This time the situation has nothing to do with her decisions yet she must overcome another horrible incident. By the time you reach her last circumstance, Jen’s recognizes a bad situation and remedy ensues! With these experiences, her life is changed forever and she now has a podcast to support and empower other survivors. There really is a rainbow at the end of this story.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I could not put this book down. Jen’s detailed stories show how easy it is to fall into an abusive relationship. More important, she was strong enough to get out. She is living proof that when life gives you lemons, you can make lemonade.

This is a must read for anyone who is currently in an abusive relationship or has been able to leave an abusive relationship.

I look forward to following her podcast – I Need Blue.
Thank you, Jen, for sharing your experiences and giving hope to those in similar situations.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The stories and the way women overcome the challenges are awe-inspiring. This book is a must read!
