Shunryu Suzuki Roshi founded the San Francisco Zen Center in 1962,
and after fifty years we have seen a fine group of Zen masters
trained in the west take up the mantle and extend the practice of
Zen in ways that might have been hard to imagine in those first
early years. Susan Murphy, one of Robert Aitken's students and
dharma heirs, is one of the finest in this group of young Zen
teachers. She is also a fine writer, and following on the teaching
of her Roshi she has engaged her spiritual work in the ordinary
world, dealing with the practice of daily life and with the
struggles of all beings.
Thousands of women are abused, battered, stalked, and killed by their husbands, boyfriends, lovers, and partners every year. While the O. J. Simpson trial raised domestic abuse to the forefront of public consciousness, no one has offered women concrete advice on how to protect themselves and get safely away from their abusers. In Defending Our Lives, Susan Murphy-Milano, the founder of Project: Protect, presents the first comprehensive guide to the options available to battered women as well as to the family and friends who want to help them. With detailed, practical information, Murphy-Milano guides women through the process of protecting themselves from domestic violence and stalking. She explains what domestic violence is, how to deal with the police and enlist their help, how to make the decision to leave, what steps to take during the actual move, how to secure one's home after leaving an abuser, how to navigate the legal system, how to ensure the safety of one's children, and how to defend against stalking. Family and friends can be crucial in this process, and throughout the book Murphy-Milano suggests numerous ways in which they can help. Defending Our Lives is a much-needed resource in the struggle of millions of women to protect themselves from domestic violence and stalking.
