A Woman Like You: The Face of Domestic Violence (New Leaf Series)

Rating:
Summary: Totally gripping & enraging. You must read this book!
Review: Vera Anderson takes a positive spin on domestic violence. She kills many birds with one stone through her compilation of interviews & photos in this awe-inspiring book: She attacks our perception of the battered women; She shows us that crimes are being committed to women even after they escape their abusive partners at home (by us and legislations); And most of all she shows the threat that women & their children live under even after escape! Can you imagine having to change the name you were born with, because you would get killed if you didn't? But wait, what inspires me most is Vera's proactive attitute to give back to women who were less fortunate then herself. She too could have been killed and I admire her for using her resources and God-given talents to inspire the whole nation to change! Kudos to All of the victims for their courage!
