This set includes three books by Jennifer Storm - Blackout Girl, Awakening Blackout Girl, and the Awakening Blackout Girl Journal: Make Room for the Light.

Sexual assault, addiction, and other traumatic experiences can leave both physical and emotional scars. For Jennifer Storm, these scars serve as a reminder--both of the darkness she once experienced and of how far she has come. When she was first assaulted at age twelve, Jennifer turned to alcohol to dull the emotional pain. After a string of childhood traumas, she fell into crack use and self-harm. Once Jennifer finally found treatment after surviving the last of multiple suicide attempts, she discovered that it was possible to heal her shame. She could start to recover by uncovering the secrets she had kept hidden for years.

This new edition of Blackout Girl: Tracing My Scars from Addiction and Sexual Assault includes even more details of Jennifer's experiences and a powerful new foreword by survivor advocate and founder of the End Rape Statute of Limitations movement, Caroline Heldman, PhD. Blackout Girl is a must-read both for those looking to learn about the personal effects of widespread sexual assault and addiction and for those who already hold these issues dear.

In Awakening Blackout Girl: A Survivor's Guide for Healing from Addiction and Sexual Trauma, Jennifer provides the road map she used to wake herself up. In this essential guide, Jennifer covers crucial subjects ranging from shame and self-harm to sex and relationships while providing practical exercises, tools, and wisdom to help survivors heal. The foreword by Kristen Schmidt, MD, an addiction psychiatrist and trauma expert at the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, also provides essential clinical context on treating sexual trauma and addiction.

The journal is beautifully designed with lay-flat, lined pages offering ample space for recording daily reflections, thoughts, and feelings as part of a recovery journey.
