Unnecessary Roughness - Donna Kshir
Only two weeks into her marriage Danica began to see her relationship with Tyler in a whole new light. Tyler wasn't the same man he was before they married. She noticed there was something different about him. He was more controlling, desperate and hid behind a mask of anger and rage.
Tyler soon began hitting on Danica which in turn escalated into beatings. Like others before her, she is faced with the fear of embarrassment. The fear of having people know that she, too, is a domestic violence victim would inevitably show her followers that she was weak. Danica's secret story was finally revealed after a detailed account of her dramatic story of domestic violence was found in a journal in her attic.
This powerful story takes our reader through the vicious cycles of abuse, and the brutal reality of the effects domestic violence has and what cost Danica her life.

Frozen Tears - Maureen Ruhl:
As a child, Maureen Ruhl was sexually abused. In those days, however, the topic of child sexual abuse was taboo, she said.
"In the 1950s and early '60s, we just didn't talk about these things," she added.
Further compounding the problem, she said, was the fact that psychologists were not as common, and school counselors and teachers were not trained to deal with such things. Although progress has been made since the days of Ruhl's youth, she still believes there is work to be done when it comes to addressing abuse.
Ruhl recently finished writing a book called "Frozen Tears" that is partially based on her experiences. She she hopes it will help people to open up and discuss the painful subject. "I think 'Frozen Tears' picks up wither other books end," she said. "It's actually designed for a safe person to discuss the suspicion of abuse before they go to the police. It talks about boundaries, telling them they're allowed to say no.
Ruhl said, if somebody reports abuse to you, the best thing you can do is listen - don't jump to conclusions - and get the victim in contact with someone who can deal with it professionally.
"It is a book that I hated to write," she said. "I was abused, but I didn't want it to be my story. I didn't want my abuse to overshadow anyone else's, because everyone has a story, and they're entitled to tell their story."
