Virtue of Honor: Acquiring Truth is the unapologetic true story of Joanne Richardson. Told with unflinching honesty, this fearless memoir exposes the good, the bad, and the devastating in between.
From childhood trauma and domestic abuse to self-harm, betrayal, and a relentless battle with Complex PTSD, this is a raw and graphic account of a life shaped by pain—and the war to reclaim it.
Joanne doesn’t just name the abuse—she dismantles the power structures that allowed it. From gender warfare in corporate boardrooms to the emotional cost of chasing success in a system built to break women, her story exposes the underbelly of professional achievement. These pages drag shame, greed, exploitation, and false identity into the light.
But this isn’t just a story of survival. It’s a declaration of redemption.
At the center of the storm stands one unshakable truth: freedom only came through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Virtue of Honor is a battle cry for anyone who has been silenced, erased, or bound by trauma—and is finally ready to rise.
“The truth scares most people into hiding. It's time to shed light on taboo topics and create a space for healing.”
Joanne invites you to embark on a transformative journey as she imparts a powerful message of inner strength. Regardless of your circumstances, she inspires you to stand tall, casting aside fear and darkness. Break free from the allure of wealth, bid farewell to the greed of working for Corporate America, and embark on a healing journey from past traumas.
Joanne, once silenced, steps boldly into the light. She extends an empowering invitation to not only read her life story but also emerge from your own shadows and embrace your truth.
