Unclenching Our Fists: Abusive Men on the Journey to Nonviolence
"InUnclenching Our Fists, Sara Elinoff Acker recounts her remarkable journey from domestic violence victim advocate to batterer intervention counselor as a way to introduce readers to one of the key lessons her experience taught her: abusive men can--and do--change their behavior if they have the courage, and will, to do so.  The stories she shares provide powerful evidence of this.  Unlike so much else written about men behaving badly, this book is inspiring--and hopeful.  It should be widely read."--Jackson Katz, author ofThe Macho Paradoxand creator of the documentary filmTough Guise"Unclenching Our Fistsoffers rare insight into hearts and minds of men who choose non-violence. Now more than ever, we need these stories and wisdom to point us in the direction of solutions. I'm  inspired by the courage of the women who spoke up, the men who listened, and the author for bringing these stories to our attention."--Lonna Davis, Director, Children and Youth Program, Futures Without Violence
