Summary of this Book...
This is a fantastic book of confessional poetry, relaying Lyn’s story from abuse victim, to survivor. I love the honesty and clarity with which Lyn writes. Having been there, a lot of the poems really hit home, for me. I especially liked the way Lyn showed that escaping the abuse doesn’t begin and end with leaving the abuser physically. It is the constant conditioning to be the downtrodden, submissive, ‘perfect’ wife that is the hardest to escape.

I loved this book. I think it is important, both for those who are in this situation and need to know they aren’t alone, to those who have never really thought about this taboo subject before.
This type of Book is good for...
If you are in an abusive relationship, this book will help you. If you want to learn a little more about the power of domestic abusers and why women stay with them, this book is for you. If you just love powerful, emptional poetry, this book is for you. It is so good!
I especially liked...
Lyn’s honesty. She doesn’t beat around the bush or try to play anything down. She just tells her story because it is hers, and she owns it.
I didn't like...
It was painful to read. Having been in a very similar story myself, there were parts that hit very close to home and brought back a few memories.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
Tell the world about it.
This Book made me feel...
Grateful to Lyn for sharing something so personal. Proud of myself for coming so far since I was married to my monster.
The author of this Book...
Lyn Crain. A WDC author.
I recommend this Book because...
It’s something we should all be a bit more aware of.
I don't recommend this Book because...
It is fairly graphic at times. It’s not an easy read because of that.
