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.
