The Emergency Divorce Handbook for Women
Most of the estimated 8,200 women who are battered every day in the U.S. would like to leave their husband/partner, but have no idea what step to take first, how to obtain free legal aid, where the nearest shelter is, how to protect their children from parental kidnapping, how to apply for a protective order, and more. These women, many of them in dire financial straits, assume they need an attorney to do any of these things. And they assume that since they can’t afford an attorney, housing or even food, they must stay in the abusive relationship. Angela Hoy thought so, too.Unfortunately, several hundred of these women are murdered by their partners each year, long before they are able to protect themselves. More than 500 women have been killed by their partners this year alone.    This compilation of painful stories and advice from 27 divorced women is available as a free instant download (electronic book) to any woman who is now wearing the contributors’ old shoes. Profits from sales of the print book go toward sending free copies to shelters, therapists and women’s and children’s organizations. The free ebook can be seen at angelahoy.com/book (see right-hand column for free download link).
