Dian, I am so honored to be selected for your project in October. I have done presentations and signings at the YWCA in MO during October, and the correlation of my story to the domestic violence topic went well. One year I did "insidious and escalating forms of violence" which included my father's cruelty toward animals as a precursor to violence against women and children. I intend to get the other books you mentioned. Thank you for including me on this panel!
