Surviving Domestic Violence
When Love Hurt, and Strength Saved Me
Surviving Domestic Violence is a powerful, unfiltered testimony of pain, faith, survival, and resilience.
In this deeply personal account, Deatrice Renee Garrison shares her journey through domestic violence, abuse, fear, and loss-while revealing the strength it took to survive when love became dangerous. This book tells the truth about what it feels like to live in constant fear, to protect children while breaking inside, and to keep going when help feels out of reach.
Through real-life experiences, Deatrice exposes the emotional, physical, and spiritual battles survivors face, including manipulation, isolation, repeated cycles of abuse, and the lasting impact on children who witness violence in silence. She also shares how faith, prayer, and perseverance became the foundation for escape, healing, and reclaiming her life.
This book is not just a story of survival-it is a message of hope.
Surviving Domestic Violence is written for:
Survivors seeking strength and understanding
Women who feel trapped or unheard
Families and loved ones trying to understand abuse
Anyone who believes healing is possible after trauma
This book reminds readers that survival is not weakness, silence is not consent, and freedom is possible-even after repeated trauma.
If you or someone you love has experienced domestic violence, this book will remind you that you are not alone, your story matters, and your life is worth protecting.
