| Approximately 4,000,000 women are physically assaulted by an intimate partner in the United States annually. Silent Cries by Lisa J. Peck tells the story of one such woman, Charlene. The subtitle of this book is "A Woman’s Journey to Freedom…"; and this book delivers exactly that as Charlene is abused, fights to regain her self-esteem and raise five young children while in fear for her life, and, ultimately, to come full circle and find true love.
This book is a must read for every woman. Often, all too often, the abused woman feels that she is at fault and things will be better if only she were thinner, more patient, more loving, and so on ad nauseum. But she isn’t. That truth must be heard and become the battle cry to stop domestic violence in every home. Thank you, Ms. Peck. | | |
