When Home Is Not Safe

<p> Even if you haven't been hurt by domestic violence someone you know has and wishes they could tell you about it. Perhaps you are a therapist teacher academic or social worker who wants to help those who are suffering. Or maybe you are in an abusive relationship and need to know that you are not alone. </p><p> The poems memoirs and creative nonfiction pieces collected here tell of real incidents of abuse as well as of those who left destructive and unsalvageable relationships. The beauty and truth of the language as well as the honesty and courage set this anthology apart from self-help manuals and academic treatises on domestic violence. This book offers a path forward to healing health and fulfillment using the power of art to give voice where voice has been stifled forgotten overlooked or denied.</p>
