Knight in Tarnished Armor is a true story. It is told with courage and compassion by a woman who lived to escape her knight-mare. Erin Donovan now wants to empower others who may feel trapped and all alone. An excellent read for victims, or for those who want to help a victim out of an abusive situation. It gives us an up-close and personal glimpse into the everyday life - the double life - that an abuse victim lives, hoping she will live to see tomorrow. Journal entries that Erin kept during the years of abuse are the backbone of the memoir, the rest of the story fills in the details in a conversational tone. As you read, you can almost hear her telling you her story. But there's also encouragment, hope and a gentle hand of strength held out to those in similar circumstances. A safety plan, personal safety tips, resources and websites are included to help those who are looking for a way out. This book is a must read for anyone who is dealing with domestic violence, whether directly or indirectly.

Couldn't put it down!,

This review is from: Knight In Tarnished Armor, A Survivor's Memoir of Domestic Abuse (Paperback)
This book is truly an inspiration! It was like having a one-on-one conversation and watching an edge-of-your-seat movie at the same time. Even without personal experience to relate to, this book explored the fine line between how what we want and wanting to do the right thing can cloud something that hurts us. I felt invested from the very first page and realized how powerful it is for Erin to share her own story so openly so that others may know they are not alone. You cannot help but feel empowered by her strength.

This review is from: Knight In Tarnished Armor, A Survivor's Memoir of Domestic Abuse (Paperback)
I read this book in two days, couldn't put it down. See, I knew the author growing up,and of all of the girls in our "group", she was the one I would have least expected to be abused. She was the one you went to for advice about a relationship. So, when I read the book I was amazed that someone so careful got caught up in such an abusive situation.
The book shows you just how easy it is to be mislead. So, it's interesting how Erin brings in things she didn't notice but should have at the time it was happening. She brings very good resources so that others can pick-up the clues and not go through what she endured. It's a book that I'm having both my daughters read. Thank-you Erin.
