Reviews

When Home Is Not Safe brings a necessary voice to the silent and all-pervasive epidemic of domestic abuse among us. This is a powerful anthology--healing for the writer, eye-opening for the reader. As a therapist and a poet, I highly recommend this collection. --Gayle Kaune MSW, LICSW, author, Noise from Stars This anthology on a wide range of abuse is alive in its varied writings, both prose and poetry. The full sensory experience of domestic violence reveals human suffering, as well as triumph over trauma. The sheer existence of these writings is memorable this is a must read for educators, social workers, and all those in the field of domestic abuse. --Ellen Katz, PhD, MSW, RSW, University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada How are we to receive and make use of these cries of the heart? These writings serve as sociological evidence of the imposition of the disturbed narratives of the powerful upon the vulnerable, in our domestic lives. I see them as reminders of the need to assure victims that their narratives matter more, and that the shame of what was done lies with the perpetrators. --Patty Cannon MA LMHC, psychotherapist, Seattle Washington.
