Summary: Call It Courage
Review: "Rape, Incest, Battery" by Miriam Kalman Harris is a book of enormous
compelling force, and its contents make for riveting reading. The
stories Dr. Harris has compiled and edited -- as well as her own
introductory materials -- pack a wallop as well as open up a view into a
world of domestic trauma and violence against women that many of us know
only second-hand. But the personal accounts she's assembled, the poems,
letters, etc., really bring us into that world very directly, and I'm
sure many of those stories have not only helped those who wrote them but
will help and inspire those who read them, particularly women, of course.
This is a very important book demonstrating the courage that women can
discover in themselves when confronting vicious forms of mistreatment and
the heroic actions that they can take, not just in their own defense, but
in creating new lives for themselves and their families. Everyone with
an interest in this subject -- and not just women -- should read this
eye-opener of a book. -- Kenneth Ring, Ph.D.
Author of "Lessons from the Light" and "Heading Toward
Omega."

Summary: Wonderful insight
Review: What a wonderfully honest book! It shares the heartbreak of what rape does to the human soul. I also highly recommend reading Peaceful Heart: A Woman's Journey of Healing, by Aimee Jo Martin....a book that is a true testament to the human spirit.
