​

Sally Allen was born in Guyana, South America, and migrated to the United States in 1993. She began writing her debut non-fiction book after she started to believe that her story was not "normal."

​

Her passion for volunteering and advocating for women and children has taken her to Peru, Ireland, Mexico, Poland, and Cambodia worldwide.

​

Born into a toxic environment, forced into an arranged marriage, and subjected to sexual abuse, Sally was trapped in a perpetual state of fear and insecurity.

​

The most challenging part of the bondage in her mind was not realizing it wasn't normal. For a long time, Sally allowed her circumstances to define who she was until she discovered the power of resilience.

​

Living a life of resilience provided the paradigm shift from victim to survivor, from a lack of self-esteem to boldness and bravery, and from fearing people to having faith in God.

​

Sally resides in Nevada with her husband and three dogs and is a mother to an adult son. When she isn't volunteering, she dedicates most of her time to traveling, reading, cooking, biking, and hiking.
