Victim Survivor Thriver: Healing from Sexual Assault Paperback – March 30, 2026

In Victim Survivor Thriver: Healing from Sexual Assault, Katrina Owensby traces her journey through trauma and healing in a powerful collection of poetry. Beginning with the night of her assault, she writes from the position of a victim, giving voice to pain, silence, and the barriers to healing. As the collection unfolds, her tone shifts: through love, she reclaims herself as a survivor, and ultimately, as a thriver.Owensby's story culminates in accountability and self-reclamation as, through God, she gains all that she perceived as lost, including herself, and her assailant is imprisoned for his violence. The final poems speak directly to victims, survivors, and thrivers of sexual assault, offering the words she once needed- words of love that affirm, liberate, and make healing imaginable. Read more
