With a ring for my finger these words he said

"I promise to cherish honor and respect"

So why did he hit me and why did he yell

Why did he stand there when down the steps I fell...

If you or someone you know is living in a violent or controlling relationship I urge you to seek help.

It was my great privilege to meet the author of this compelling book.  Stephanie Rodriguez is a survivor of Domestic Violence.  "Time to Stop Pretending" describes the many adversities one woman faced and the great strength and courage she gained to leave her abuser.  This book can be purchased at most book stores or at www.amazon.com

 

Look for the book "Here Our Voices" published by the  Domestic Violence Network of Greater Indianapolis at most Book stores, or Indiana Coalition Agents Domestic Violence.  This is a collection of poems and essays by survivors throughout the Indiana area.
