The first time he hit me we were at a dance. I was talking to another guy at the bar. Benny came up behind me, turned me around, and slammed a beer bottle into my face. -MaryWhen I found out I was pregnant, I thought we would be a big happy family. That all ended when he got drunk and kicked me in the stomach. I miscarried. -MarthaHe went on to tell me 'if you ever tell anyone our secret, I will tell them that you are the one who asked for this.' Naturally, only being nine years old, I had no idea what he really meant, but I will never forget what happened next. -PaulaUpon moving to our new home there were new rules. I was allowed no car and no phone, as before. But now I was also not allowed shoes so I could not run away. If I did everything right and didn't make him angry, he would allow me to buy food. -AshleyWhen William Joiner was asked to write the true story of an abused woman, he put out a call for the personal experiences of other women who had suffered abuse. Stunned by the vast, gut-wrenching responses, he vowed to write this broader account of their stories, in order to give hope, courage and resources to women in need.
