Military / Domestic Violence Impact
“This book is revolutionary, a game changer that is altering lives of domestic violence victims in the AF one day at a time…
Jerome Ellis
Family Advocacy Manager, Seymour Johnson AFB
Verified Amazon Review
“Having a friend in an abusive relationship, I often wondered 'WHY'? Why does she stay? Why won't she leave? This book answered those questions for me. I never looked at it the way that things were presented in this book. It was an eye-opener. At times, it made me mad, angry, etc, but I kept on reading, but I must admit it was not due to the writing, but the situations. That question popped up again, 'WHY'? To the author, thank you. Thank you for giving me a way to look at domestic abuse in another way. No, I still do not feel it is right, but I can look at things a bit differently now and understand the WHY question better than before...”
— Vnunez-msluv2read
Verified Amazon Review
“I couldn't put this book down. It felt like I was having a conversation with a friend. I gained insight on how to respond if approached by a loved one in a similar situation.”
— Denise
