  "Having lived through these experiences and been unable to speak out - not knowing how to use my voice to ask for help - I am thrilled that I am finally being heard and my story is being told." 
  This is a memoir about childhood neglect; childhood sexual abuse; and living in care - but it is also one of the best examples of resilience and survival. 
  Groomed and abused as a child, Liz could easily have crumbled. Instead, she stood up and saw justice done. 
  But Hear Me is more than one woman's story - as remarkable and powerfully written as that story is. 
  It is also a call to arms for the unheard victims across the country. Liz is fiercely passionate about spreading awareness of child neglect, abuse, poverty, living in care and how that can impact people throughout life, and limit their chances of achieving their full potential. 
  She is determined to have an impact on this subject, to be a voice for change. Until these topics are highlighted on prime-time TV, on drive time radio shows, and are discussed around the dinner table and in the playground, abusers will continue to abuse, protected by a blanket of fear. Liz is hopeful her story will contribute to a change in the culture we live in. 
  Despite the horrors she has endured, Hear Me is also a beautifully, sometimes even funny, memoir which will make readers stop in their tracks and really think.

  The pounding of horses' hooves shattered the night's silence. Harriet froze in the shadow of a tree and peered out into the darkness. She barely dared to breathe as three slave catchers came to a halt only a few feet from her hiding place. Had she escaped from danger so many times only to lose her hope of freedom now? At age six the sharp bite of a whip taught Harriet Tubman what it meant to be a slave. The other slaves scoffed when Harriet resolved to escape north someday. Little did they know that this girl would one day lead hundreds of slaves to freedom on the Underground Railroad. Even huge rewards for her capture -- dead or alive -- did not stop Harriet from risking her life again and again in the fight for liberty as the nation spiraled into the Civil War. Whether running from slave hunters, advising generals, or improving condition in war hospitals, remarkable Harriet Tubman would not be satisfied until every person could experience true freedom.

As we age, we all learn how to cope and deal with life's challenges. Now imagine you’re 8 8-year-old who has lost his mother, who he loved dearly, and has no home or money. The only thing he owns is the clothes on his back. The one solid thing that he can call his own is his superior knowledge and his desire to continue to learn. Zack doesn’t realize he is above average; he looks at himself as a kid on the street who no one would be willing to help or take in. He’s also decided that he will not be taken to a foster home that he wouldn’t survive, but that he would do whatever it takes to survive living on the streets. As time goes on, everyone who meets and talks to Zack is quite touched by him. He’s never rude or mean to anyone and is very appreciative of the little things in life. He knows his life isn’t normal like everyone else, but he accepts that. He makes the most of what he does have and what’s available to him without taking advantage of anything or anyone. Follow his four-year journey from having nothing to accomplishing something that no one thought possible. His story and his life are both an incredible inspiration.
