Men Cry Alone is a highly controversial novel that explodes the
myth that men cannot be victims of domestic abuse by women.
Although domestic abuse regularly receives a high profile in the
media, for many people it remains a shameful secret. For men, the
problem is compounded by an even greater reluctance to admit it is
happening. With an increasingly ageing population, the problem of
abuse between partners because one is suffering from dementia is a
growing one. It is a hidden area within a hidden area in terms of
domestic violence towards men. 'I wept many times reading Men Cry
Alone. It is a profoundly moving novel ... a compulsive read.' Erin
Pizzey, who opened the world's first shelter for battered women in
1971. 'The experiences of these fictitious characters echo the real
life tragedies that I have dealt with for nearly thirty years.'
Susan Brown, Minister of Dornoch Cathedral. 'A sensitive and
touching portrayal of the far-reaching effects that dementia can
have within a marriage.' Alzheimer Scotland.
