This powerful book was inspired from pain, passion, persistence, and the pursuit for peace. Domestic Violence: Both Sides of the Coin looks at male and female victims of domestic violence and why the batterer beats his or her victim. Women who are battered are considered heroes, while men who are battered are considered wimps. It explores the lopsidedness of the legal system, prejudices and biases. More importantly, it looks at what we can do to help the batterer stop beating. The book is a great resource and teaching tool to help individuals better understand domestic violence. Some resource topics include: Who is a victim? Why do men and women stay in the relationship? How can I know if I'm in an abusive relationship? Planning your escape?
