About this book

Still Here: A Survivor’s Journey from Abuse to Rebuilding a Life is about finding your way back to yourself after domestic violence. It follows a journey through recognizing control, facing the impact of abuse, and taking steps toward safety, healing, and a life shaped by your own choices.

This book is for survivors who may feel alone, uncertain, or not yet ready to name what they’ve experienced. It may also help friends, family members, and others who want to better understand how to support someone rebuilding after abuse.

Readers can find reassurance that their experiences matter, that healing doesn’t have to follow a straight line, and that rebuilding can begin one small step at a time. Above all, the book offers a message of hope: you are more than what happened to you, and you are still here.

About Jennifer Rivera

Jennifer Rivera

I am a survivor, a mother, a wife, and a woman who has walked through some of the darkest moments of my life and found a way to keep going. I share my story not because it is easy to tell, but because I know how powerful it can be to hear someone say, “You are not alone.”

Through these pages, I hope to help readers recognize the signs of abuse, understand that abuse is never their fault, and find the courage to believe in their own strength. Most of all, I want survivors to know that what happened to them does not define who they are, and that there can be life, healing, love, and hope after surviving.
