Impacts on battered victims, family and society
The book is majorly on the stories of victims of domestic violence as narrated by victims, children, grandchildren, and friends of victims of domestic violence. It discussed the experiences of the author, the myths and facts about domestic violence, the impacts of domestic violence on the entire family and the community, as well as the characteristics of perpetrators and victims. This book also includes the trauma-bonding of victims, reality of marriage and the types of wives and husbands…Above all, I believe that these stories will likely have ripple effects that will inspire individuals, counsellors, organisations, churches, and schools to take actions that will help to reduce and/or eradicate domestic violence in society.
