We are so delighted to be working in conjunction with Peacock Proud Press (Laura Bush, PHD) in promoting Rachel's new book: Finding Feminism ~ A Memoir

Today is her book launch with her eBook being offered for only 99 cents, in celebration of her amazing story. 

Rachel explores the question: Can There Be Freedom After Trauma?

In Finding Feminism, Rachel Overvoll tells a story about what it's like growing up in fundamentalist Evangelical Christianity. 

She shows how her well-meaning parents and her indoctrination within a rigidly religious community affected her sense of self and the decision she made as an obedient child, teenager, and young wife. 

Throughout her memoir, Rachel shares how religious indoctrination influenced her relationships with men and her view of her own sexuality. This memoir is a triumphant account of how one young woman learned to heal from traumatic experiences, including an abusive engagement, crippling depression, and sexual assault.

After finding feminism by chance in a library, Rachel courageously learns to live life according to her own evolving beliefs and values. This story reminds all women to find their voice and stand strong for themselves and each other.

Rachel lives in Denver with her rescue dog, Daisy. Since leaving the church in her early twenties, Rachel graduated with a BS in Tourism Management from Indiana University. After college, she began a career in sales, enabling her to travel throughout the country. She has actively worked for women's rights, volunteering with various domestic and sexual violence organizations, including Project PAVE in Denver.

Rachel has also facilitated conversations around religion, feminism, body positivity, and privilege in her community. Since leaving religion, Rachel has considered the open road her church. She is a long-distance runner and completed the Portland and Nashville marathons.
