Not all violence is reported and not all violence is escaped. This book could have been read in less time but it needs to be read with patience and quiet time. With this book you will find that violence can strike anyone of any race, gender, size and or shape. Children of all ages are witnesses of all types of violence and some are even pushed to near death experiences. Families argue and fight over anything in an abusive relationship. Husbands take what they want from their wives, and robbers take what they want from their victims. Anything is possible in this book. There are 9 short stories gathered in this book about all sorts of abuse, even neglect, which is also a form of abuse.
