Hide AdSandra said: “Because Domestic Abuse is intended to confuse, understanding patterns of abuse can be hugely validating and liberating for survivors. I have personally seen the relief women felt and the progress they made when they properly understood what had happened to them, which is why I wrote this book."
Clare Brown, Bromley House Library director, said: “We were very proud to support Broxtowe Women’s Project book launch for ‘One in Four Women’ in the library and we hope this is the start of a great partnership with them.
"The book has a strong message, one that we all need to recognise and understand. I am sure the book will be a success and I am pleased that we can play a little part in that success.”
Coun Grindell said: "This book could bring a brighter light and make a real difference."
