At Taevo Publishing, we believe in the power of storytelling to enact change. That belief is at the heart of Why I Stayed: An In-Depth Exploration Into the Realities of Intimate Partner Violence, an anthology dedicated to sharing the voices of survivors. Today, we are announcing a new release date: October 1, 2025, in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

We made this decision because timing matters. Domestic violence is not just a statistic—it’s a lived reality for countless individuals who often struggle to be heard. By launching Why I Stayed during this critical month, we hope to maximize its impact, ensuring these powerful stories reach those who need them most: survivors, advocates, policymakers, and allies committed to change.

What’s Next? Between now and October 2025, we will be introducing you to the incredible authors behind this book, sharing exclusive content, and fostering conversations about the realities of intimate partner violence. Expect interviews, community spotlights, and deep dives into the themes explored in Why I Stayed—because these conversations cannot wait until the release date.

We invite you to follow along, engage with us, and most importantly, amplify the voices within this anthology. If you believe in the power of stories to change lives, we encourage you to pre-order your copy today: https://buy.stripe.com/aEU7uR0OI4YG8RG4gh.

Together, we can challenge misconceptions, support survivors, and advocate for meaningful change. Let’s make October 2025 a milestone moment in the fight against intimate partner violence.
