For all women experiencing violence in a relationship, whether at the hands of a same-sex or heterosexual partner, this book provides affirmation and direction to move past the struggles and start to heal. By drawing from a diverse population and using poetry, prose, illustrations, and the words of abused women, this resource covers the many important and often difficult issues, such as a battered-person's rights, how to leave an abuser, understanding physical violence, lesbian battering, and women's shelters. The guide also addresses many of the reasons why women stay in violent relationships and explains the concepts of boundaries and self-identity.

This book is excellent !,
By A Customer
This review is from: Breaking Free from Partner Abuse: Voices of Battered Women Caught in the Cycle of Domestic Violence (Hardcover)
The message applies to anyone living in an abusive situation and they should certainly read it. Straightforward discussions of partner violence and intimidation underscores the theme. This book is a strong wake-up call to the danger one may be in if they choose to remain, hoping an unbearable problem may disappear. The various women interviewd and the unique poetry makes this wonderful, sensitive book one I highly recommend.
