œHats off to Jennifer Storm for creating an educational tool that is both insightful and inspiring. She takes difficult subject matter and makes it relatable and meaningful to the reader, nurturing and applauding their progress all throughout.
Kim Goldman, New York Times Best-Selling Author and Victims’ Advocate
œPicking Up the Pieces without Picking Up is an excellent book for anyone who has been victimized. As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and rape, I see so much potential in this book to help others who have experienced trauma and are looking for ways to heal. Jennifer does an excellent job of laying out so many feelings that people who have been victimized can relate to. Survivors who read this book will find themselves saying, œThat is exactly how I felt. This book will allow them to realize they are not alone in their experience and that there are ways to heal one’s life.
Picking up the Pieces without Picking Up won’t give you the answers to forgetting the experiences in your life but will guide you toward a healthier way of living your life and learning how to live for today.

œA guidebook that I would highly recommend any victim/addict to keep and refer to as he or she struggles to find a œnew normal. Jennifer Storm has compassionately composed exercises that empower one to transition from darkness into light. Each chapter is written with first-hand knowledge of Jennifer’s experiences with the anger, guilt, and shame of her own personal struggle to strive and thrive. The author’s devotion to her work is evident by her passion to assist others to follow her path from pain to recovery.
