註釋Have you ever heard a song on the radio and instantly identified with its message, the lyrics verbalizing your unvoiced feelings? This book will do that for battered women, freeing feelings, dispelling numbness, cushioning pain. These words offer hope because they are real. The author lived this, felt this. Her pain and shame were so bad at times, she wanted to die. Yet she is still breathing, still feeling and at times, still hurting. She is surviving. There is something to be said for joining hands even theoretically through the pages of a book, with someone suffering. It gives strength and encouragement, sheds light and understanding, offers affection and acceptance. For surviving family members reading this book, you'll find love and compassion anew for your lost mother, aunt, sister, daughter, or friend. The author's desire is to honor their lives, their courage, and their strength.
