About Conjuring the Hurricane: The Best Way to Save Your Life is Any Way You Can by Sarah Hanson:

She had instinct, fear, a body that had learned to brace against danger, and a small, stubborn voice insisting she deserved more. This is the story of what it takes to leave a life that is killing you, and who you can become on the other side.
