If you are someone who says “why didn’t they just leave?” When you hear about a woman being killed by her partner, this book is one you need to read!
This is an incredibly hard book to get through at times, but Jess Hill has done an incredible job of telling people’s stories respectfully and with reason.
This book made me cry and yell out in anger at so many ways the system has let down women and children. But I’m grateful for the knowledge Jess put into this book, it’s a book I wish all police officers, lawyers, social workers and psychologists had to read while in university. You can tell a lot of time and hard work went into this book and she really tried to show all the different lens domestic violence can be seen through.
