Dethrone the Rapist

"RAPING ME was about you; forgiving you is about ME, my future husband, my unborn children and most importantly, every woman I will encounter in my walk of life" About the Book

Multiple sexual assaults, abuse and rejection were only some of the bricks in the road paved towards a journey which would lead most victims to the place where they remain the peasant at the mercy of their perpetrators who remain in the power seat.

Dethrone The Rapist goes completely against that narrative and is a story with a very different ending. Leyonie shares the gruesome truth about one traumatic life experience after another which were all designed to break and paralyse her, but more importantly she shares about how even in your lowest state, you have the ability to take back the power seat of your own life.

This book is about so much more than regaining your life after rape. It is about discovering your purpose, living courageously and leaving a legacy. It is a about rising out of the ashes... and soaring!
