Snakes & Ladders on the Way Home offers a rare account of a personal journey made in an attempt to put together the shattered pieces of a broken young life. At the age of 15, Dana Berenzon was gang raped by a group of boys at a party. Her story was never made known to the public. Dana did not press charges against her attackers. They live among us, undisturbed. She has come across them since, more than once. Dana even chose to meet one of her attackers, years after the rape, where he revealed a personal secret in a conversation she has never forgotten since. Seventeen years after the rape, Dana decided to publish her personal diary spanning twenty years. It contains a stirring collection of letters that she wrote to herself, to her relatives, to her rapists, and also to Raphael, her co-active coach. This candid and honest book traces Dana's journey since that fateful day when her life was shattered: in the educational system that knew what happened and chose to betray her; her choice to meet one of the rapists many years later and her discovery of his amazing secret; her connection to the mini-zoo that became her only home; and her experience of personal coaching that enabled her to piece back together the shattered puzzle of her soul. Some of the proceeds of this book will be donated to the mini-zoo in the Galilee where Dana chose to rebuild her life. It is there that she presently treats sexual abuse victims, children and adults. It is there, among animals and with Dana on their side, they they find comfort and support. "I Am Life's Creation Not a Victim of Circumstance
