Some stories are written to entertain. Others are written to heal. I Dodged Bullets, But I’m Not Superwoman by Laquesha Harris does both—while delivering something even more powerful: hope.
This raw and faith-filled memoir invites readers into the life of a woman who endured the unthinkable and came out not claiming perfection or superpowers—but carrying unshakable faith.
A Story of Survival and Spiritual Strength
In I Dodged Bullets, But I’m Not Superwoman, Laquesha Harris shares her deeply personal journey as an abuse survivor who faced domestic violence, betrayal, kidnapping, and manipulation. Her life was not simply marked by hardship; it was defined by repeated trials that could have broken her spirit.
But instead of surrendering to despair, she turned to prayer.
Rather than presenting herself as invincible, Harris reveals the truth: survival did not come from her own strength alone. It came from unwavering faith in God, the power of prayer, and the courage to keep moving forward even when fear felt overwhelming.
Her story is not polished or filtered. It is honest. And that honesty is what makes it powerful.
Meet ZyQuesha: A Journey Beyond Trauma
At the heart of the memoir is ZyQuesha—a woman born with a hearing disability who navigates not only physical challenges but intense emotional and spiritual warfare. Through her eyes, readers witness what it means to battle on multiple fronts.
ZyQuesha’s journey is one of:
- Surviving abuse against overwhelming odds
- Wrestling with emotional trauma
- Confronting betrayal and manipulation
- Fighting for spiritual clarity and peace
Her experiences expose the silent struggles many endure behind closed doors. The book does not glamorize pain. Instead, it sheds light on the often-hidden realities of abusive relationships and the deep scars they leave behind.
Yet even in the darkest moments, redemption remains within reach.
Faith Over Fear
What sets this memoir apart is its spiritual core. Harris does not claim to be a superhero. In fact, the title itself pushes back against the cultural expectation that women must be strong at all costs, unbreakable, and self-sufficient.
She writes from a place of vulnerability.
Page after page, readers see a woman who cries out to God, who wrestles with doubt, and who ultimately finds strength not in pretending she is fearless—but in admitting she needs divine help.
Her testimony becomes proof that:
- Healing is possible
- Broken hearts can be restored
- Trauma does not get the final word
- Faith can transform pain into purpose
A Voice for the Voiceless

I Dodged Bullets, But I’m Not Superwoman breaks that silence.
By sharing her truth, Harris gives voice to women who may feel trapped, unheard, or unseen. Her journey offers validation for those who have experienced manipulation, gaslighting, or physical harm. She reminds readers that their pain matters—and that seeking help is not weakness.
The book also highlights the importance of community. No one heals alone. Through faith, support systems, and honest conversations, transformation becomes possible.
