About the book
Elizabeth delivers a memoir that intertwines her personal journey and professional experiences. From her time in the military to her departure from the Department of Veterans Affairs and a transformative year-long solitary road trip, Elizabeth unpacks the profound effects of post-traumatic stress and retraumatization.
Background on the author
Beginning in 1992, Elizabeth worked in the private, public, and non-profit sector on the topics of intimate partner violence, sexual assault, military sexual assault, peer support services, community and organizational planning, and gender- and culturally- responsive services. In 2022 she retired, leaving her position as the Deputy Director at the VA Center for Women Veterans. Following her retirement, she spent a year traveling, visiting most of the U.S. and Baja. It was during this time that she finally began to focus on healing from her trauma and writing "Broken in the Stronger Places."
