This week's guest is Madeleine Black. a TEDx speaker, storyteller for The Forgiveness project and author of her memoir Unbroken, in which she writes about being gang-raped at 13, and how over the years she managed to peel back the layers of trauma, to find ways to heal, thrive and eventually forgive.

Host & artist Lou Hamilton and Madeleine, discuss how she had to go really deep to unearth and remember the details of the dreadful night that saw the end of her childhood, but how with the right help she could stand firm in her shame and let it dissolve. With that she was able to see that she was not what they did to her, and so she found freedom through forgiveness.

In this way this Woman of Courage brings us her Story from the Edge.
