Dear Readers:
Living in fear and in a domestic violence situation is unfathomable. It shouldn't happen, but it does; and when it does, it impacts not only the adults but also the children in the situation. Needless to say, no one should ever stay in an abusive situation; however, many do because they feel helpless and believe they are better off staying. Today's BOOK OF THE DAY, "In a Hurricane of Violence: Fleeing the Storm of Domestic Abuse," by Nika Smith, is a true story of how she escaped, along with her children, from an abusive situation. It gives hope and encouragement for others and I highly recommend it. Order your copy today!
A true story of one mother’s desperate journey to save her children and herself from a brutal abuser and a corrupt system.
The average life of two young boys quickly turns into a nightmare at the hands of their father. Their mother—isolated, abused, and debased by her husband—begins a long and difficult journey to escape the storm of violence and manipulation. Their escape is fraught with peril and includes both real-life villains and true heroes. Eventually, they flee their formerly communistic country for England, and it is there that they truly begin to experience freedom and safety.
In a Hurricane of Violence is part memoir and part self-help book. Whether readers are caught in their own storms of violence or want to help someone else escape abuse or simply want to understand the mechanism of domestic violence, this book is for everyone. The story of Nika and her children unfolds in a dramatic, heart-wrenching tale that one wishes was fiction, but the underlying strength of this small family will pull the reader from the darkest moments. After each chapter, a retrospective is included to help readers understand how domestic violence ensnares its victims and how to find the path to true freedom and recovery.
