I will buy this for every woman in my life. Gavin de Becker validates the rightful fear of the dangers women face every day. His book is written so that it’s 2 parts crime thriller/case studies and 2 parts pure insightfulness. He brings up the odd feelings one gets when they aren’t quite sure why, and explains the why hidden under the surface. Long story short, our intuition is a gift and we must listen to it every time.
Moderate: Hate crime, Mass/school shootings, Gun violence, Death, Violence, Suicide, Rape, Mental illness, Kidnapping, Sexual violence, Misogyny, Domestic abuse, Stalking, and Murder
