Domestic abuse
Physical abuse should be unacceptable, but may suffer too long in silence...
The lost girls: ten true stories of women who have triumphed over abuse by Wensley Clarkson. John Blake, 2006.
"A collection of stories of victimisation and abuse of women, all of whom have lived through their ordeals to tell their stories of emotional and physical survival against all the odds"
Living with the devil by Amy Norman. John Blake Publishing, 2006.
"After years of unspeakable torment, the author describes how she packed up her children and escaped a life of violence. Her account of an emotional time gives an insight into why many women find it hard to leave a violent relationship"
In fear of her life: the true story of a violent marriage by Frances Smith. Maverick House, 2006.
"The true story of a woman who fought back against twenty-two years of domestic violence...she chronicles her descent to the brink of suicide and the consequent rebuilding of her life"
When relationships go wrong, the abuse is often not physical.
