From
the Author
Thiséis not a reference text about domestic violence. It is not an
instructional manual on how to escape from a batterer. Plenty of these
exist. It is a travel guide to a country no one visits willingly, the
collective tales of past travelers making the landscape less threatening,
less alien. People have always counted on stories to make sense of their
lives. In 1997, I set out to gather a particular set of stories. I
traveled across the country interviewing women who were once in an

King editor of One Voice: The National Alliance for Abuse Awareness
These riveting stories, narrated by women who have made new lives for
themselves after years ofíabuse, reveal the often lengthy and
frustratingprocess they undertook of breaking the bonds abuse wielded
by their batterers. I strongly recommend that women seeking the insight,
strength, and courage to leave abusive partners Áread this book, as
should domestic violence experts, judges, attorneys, and caseworkers. |

Try to get out of harm's way. Thank you Áreaders for your interestáin
this book, and thanks to the women who inspired it. The fact that I
couldn't use their real names attests to the danger they were in. The
poetry was inspired by their life & death situations, their emotions
and their courage. Thanks also to Jeanne at Morning Glory Press for
falling in love with the poem, "I Whisper To The Wind", for
deciding to publish the book and for taking the risk to issue it in
