No Visible Bruises: What We Don't Know About Domestic Violence Can Kill Us
by Rachel Louise Snyder
This is an important book. Intimate partner violence is not taken seriously, is ignored, is downplayed and is killing women (and some men). It is shocking and shameful that there are still so many myths surrounding domestic abuse - why didn’t she just leave? Why does she keep going back? Why doesn’t she go to a shelter? This book is meticulously researched and it clearly explains how people end up in a cycle of abuse.
But this is not a book with dry facts and statistics. There are very real and personal stories that drag the reader right into the heart of the matter. I found myself understanding, empathizing, and wondering how this can be allowed to continue.
I learned a great deal from this book and hope others will read it and open their eyes to this world-wide issue.
