The author's own tragic story of how her father terrorized the family brings the reader into understanding that the inforamtion provided in this book was written to safe lives. This book is a basic roadmap to safety. It provides legal direction and how to best use the syste, where ever you live. This book saved my daughter and my granchildren's lives. And the author personally assisted us with our road map to safety. This book should be at every high school library and college across the country!

I am currently in the process of ending my abusive relationship.
This book has been a tremendous guide in understanding what my rights are as an abuse victim and how to best use the court system. I found the "Escape Chapter" very helpful in preparing to start my new life without my abuser being able to locate me.

There is great comfort as I read this book knowing that someone out there has put together information that will make me and my children and other family members safe!

I am an expert of The Battered Women's Sydrome
& Defense.
There are women wrongly incarcerated across America'
for defending their own lives and the lives of their
children against a domestic abuser.
Defending Our Lives brings light to the issue of "Stalking"
and the Battered Women's Syndrome. Why women do not run,
and what happens if they do.
This book is now a part of a college course within the
women's prison in CA. An to educate the Parole Board
on what happens to battered women. How to get away from an abuser
and not loosing your own life....is important.
Susan Murphy-Milano has done a great job.

I think this book was very informative in letting women know how to keep themselves safe from domestic violence. Was very detailed as to the places to go or call for help if you are in serious danger. I would recommend that all women that are in a potentially abusive relationship to read this book so they can know what to do and not feel helpless.
