Book Description

Publication Date: February 2, 2004

This book is out of print and will be published under a new title..OUR STORIES OF DOMESTIC ABUSE..Please contact us for an ebook or the new title. Author is not receiving royalties for Domestic Abuse Our Stories.

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 every day. 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars hoax??I don't think so! Daisy Mae is wrong!, October 6, 2004

A survivor myself (Miami, Florida USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Our Stories of Domestic Abuse (Paperback)

I believe the book states the stories are taken from interviews with other women. Of course the author used her own words. The author told a story based on the facts that these people must have told her! This is a very sensitive subject and for someone like Daisy Mae to try to slam this book which is trying to help women now that is just wrong! I think that Daisy Mae is a author who hasn't been able to make book sales of her own. I read the book and was very pleased with it. I work in a domestic abuse shelter and found these stories to be very real and believable. I deal with women in crisis situations every day and for me this book really hits the mark. Daisy Mae seems to have a problem with a lot of other authors too! I for one recommend this book to our volunteers, the many women who walk through our doors every day and all of our full and part time employees. I am a real person not the author of this book although I would love to take credit for writing this book! This is my first review as may be the case with the other reviewers. I recommend this book to everyone and it does open your eyes to the situation. It also helps the people who aren't involved in this situation to understand what these women are going through. Daisy Mae why don't you try to write a book? I know that I could never write a book as good as this one and I know that Daisy Mae couldn't!

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE THIS BOOK!, August 17, 2004

By 

Martha (Wisconsin, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Our Stories of Domestic Abuse (Paperback)

My attention was drawn and held by these stories. I felt as though I were right there with these women. I have emailed the author (at the back of her book an email address is provided) and I was told that a new book is to be released later this year or early next year. The next book also has our stories and some from other family members, (the kids). I CAN'T WAIT TO READ THE NEXT ONE!!!!!!!!

This review is from: Our Stories of Domestic Abuse (Paperback)

Very helpful book. Especially liked the email address at the end to contact author, well, email is forwarded to the author. I found it very enlightening and do not agree with Daisy Mae, I found the stories to be very believable and I thought it was very informative and well written. Buyer beware of enjoying this book.
