Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Domestic violence has a great impact on families. Research evidence suggests that domestic violence has significant and long term affects in families. In her first book she realized how much child abuse was embedded in her short stories. Therefore, her second book was written to further address the topic of child abuse. This second book is not a tell all book written by the author; rather, she takes a closer look at how she disciplined her own children and how she learned better parenting skills. In this book, the author includes a chapter where she interviewed her own four children for a closer understanding of how she was able to break the cycle of child abuse from their perspectives while continuing her healing journey. These are keys that her own children benefited from as she learned and shared stories, activities, and information covering life coping skills needed for parents to raise children with love, patience, and compassion.
