Domestic abuse is a global problem and as such whilst the
statistics cited in the book are specific to the UK, the different
forms of abuse discussed are not. This book is a useful insight
into the world of domestic abuse regardless of gender or
geographical location. The aim is twofold. Firstly it is to raise
awareness that men can be victims too. Secondly it is to provide an
insight into what abuse looks like to help people identify at an
early stage whether they may be in an abusive relationship.
Domestic Abuse: Men Suffer Too does not serve to cause a further
divide between the genders, but to address the existing divide and
ask the question of whether we need solidarity not division when it
comes to tackling domestic abuse.
Five years ago Mackenzie Darroch was abducted and held captive in a
derelict house. She thought she'd found her way out of the
darkness. She was wrong... When Mackenzie witnesses a car crash and
saves the driver's life, it sets in motion a chain of events that
will alter both their futures. The two women get involved in a
high-profile police case which draws the attention of a ruthless
reporter. Gina Calvi is convinced Mackenzie is not who she appears
and is prepared to do anything to prove it. Meanwhile, across the
city, Kirsty McBride, a young single mother, is persuaded to leave
a violent relationship. Her partner, Malkie Boyle a Glasgow
hardman, is due to be released from prison. Once back on the street
and bent on revenge, Boyle is determined to find the people
responsible for stealing his family from him. Can Mackenzie save
them or will Boyle get his revenge?Owen Mullen is a best-selling
author of psychological and gangland thrillers. His fast-paced,
twist-aplenty stories are perfect for all fans of Robert Galbraith,
Ian Rankin and Ann Cleeves. What readers say about Owen Mullen:
'Owen Mullen knows how to ramp up the action just when it's
needed... he never fails to give you hard-hitting thrillers that
have moments that will stay with you forever...' 'One of the very
best thriller writers I have ever read.' 'Owen Mullen writes a good
story, he really brings his characters to life and the endings are
hard to guess and never what you expected.'
Another Way...Choosing to Change: Facilitator Guide - Women's
Edition provides facilitators with a strengths-based approach and
research-based program for intervening with women who have used

interventions and adult learning principles. Drawing from
relational theory principles, the program is designed to guide
participants toward healthy self-reflection and increased personal
resiliency, while they explore safe and nonviolent relationship

available to them. The guide progresses in tandem with the 52-week
Participant's Handbook, providing facilitators with step-by-step
instructions, suggested timeframes, and key strategies so they can
confidently and competently lead participants through each lesson

SHORTLISTED FOR THE PARLIAMENTARY BOOK AWARDS 'Jess Phillips writes
like she talks: brilliantly. Her humour and passion shine through
every page. Loved it.' ROBERT WEBB _____________________ If you're
thinking, 'Jess who?' then I'm glad that there was something about
'Everywoman' and 'truth' that caught your eye. Or you might already
know me as that gobby MP who has a tendency to shout about the
stuff I care about. Because I'm a woman with a cause, I have been
called a feminazi witch, a murderer and threatened with rape. The
internet attracts a classy crowd. So, speaking the truth isn't
always easy but I believe it's worth it. And I want you to believe
it too. The truth can be empowering, the truth can lead to greater
equality, and the world would be incredibly boring if we let all of
those people who allegedly know everything, say everything. By
demanding to be heard, by dealing with our imposter syndrome, by
being cheerleaders, doers not sayers, creating our own networks and
by daring to believe that we can make a difference, we can. We're
women and we're kick-ass. And that's the truth.

'Jess Phillips knows the truth . . . and here she shows how scary
and sad as well as joyful and liberating the answers can be.'
Damian Barr 'Everywoman has all the laughs [of Lena Dunham and
Caitlin Moran] with a backbone of real glinting anger . . .there
were so many funny and wise things on each page that whittling them
down into a review seemed impossible.' Julie Birchill, Spectator
