And That is What Fairytales Are Made Of . . .: A Handbook for Victims/Survivors of Domestic Violence

This book is written for Victims/Survivors of Domestic Violence, by a Survivor of Domestic Violence, to help them build up the courage they need to leave the abusive situation in which they currently reside. It allows the reader to see that they are not the only person to live in such circumstances, to understand that the behavior they have been subjected to has not been "earned" by some failure or another on their part, but rather is an attempt at deflection by the person abusing them. They are worthy of a better life, a happier life, and this book will guide them through the steps that will help to enable them to obtain their freedom from a life of fear and shame while reminding them that no one has the right to treat them as anything less than an equal.
