Diane B. (Oma25) reviewed on 2/13/2008 + 51 more book reviews

This book is right on with the depiction of an abused, battered woman. She has all the same excuses and rationales, and finally finds courage not for herself, but for her daughter. The author does an excellent job of showing us that she grows up an average, normal child and teenager... thus giving lie to the idea that women who put up with abuse have common backgrounds. They simply don't... and there's no best way for them to escape their desperation.
