Shattered Innocence Linda Mottet

Here is a book written in dynamic poetry and prose that looks at the impact of living in a violent relationship. A book to inspire the decision to value oneself and others, the emotional health of everyone in the family. A book that reveals the meaning of forgiveness does not include the sacrifice of anyone's mental, emotional, or physical well- being. A book that promotes healing and forgiveness, a sense of worthiness, and empowers the courage to break through the paralysis of will and allow self preservation to provide the strength to end the relationship. A book that looks at the power dynamic between men and women, when a woman is not valued for who she is as an individual, but seen by the men in her life only as a physical body to be used. A book that is destined to change the dynamic of male and female relationships for the reader who is in need of clarity and understanding. A supportive book, a spiritual path to break down the walls within, release the pain, and begin to forgive and heal. The step toward sanity for the family that is living with domestic violence and abuse. A memoir of the author's journey living in and choosing to get out of a violent marriage.
