I felt a brush of love against my face
Wings wrapped around me in a warm embrace
I heard a whisper in my ear
‘Don’t you ever give up, I’m right here’

In this book, Regina opens up on a subject matter that is usually shrouded in controversy. She bares it all out exposing deeply ingrained issues around sexual harassment in the workplace.

She practically provides details that, in most cases, go unreported due to fears of ‘stereotypes’ the victim is likely to suffer as a backlash effect. Regina provides a balanced view on this workplace malice as she articulates the different techniques used by perpetrators of sexual harassment on victims who can be either male or female.

In this book the author relays a series of events whose interpretation changed when she changed her outlook and began to see things from the inside out.
