I am a former abuse victim and after talking with many other women I felt compelled to write this book.
October is domestic abuse awareness month and I would like to be able to make this book available to as many women as possible. This book will not only help the women in this situation but their friends and families as well.
With this book we get to see what these women go through, not all of the stories end happily. Some women are forced to leave without the courts support, some have left the abuse legally and found our legal system quite helpful. Others are no longer with us having died at the hands of their abusers.
There is a misconception in our society about abuse. My intent with this book is to select some accounts of abuse to show that these things can and do happen in a lot of families, not just to the poor and uneducated.
We get to enter these households and see that these women don’t instigate these attacks, nor do they enjoy them. These women deserve to be heard and we need to listen. Domestic abuse is in the papers everyday.
Maybe this book will give women the courage to leave their abusers and help us to better understand this growing problem. My hope is that these stories stay with my readers long after they put the book down.
DOMESTIC ABUSE:OUR STORIES by M. WEBB ISBN# 1-4137-0720-3 released 4/04 by Publish America.
The sequel to this book will be released in 2005. It deals with all of the different sides of the abuse.
