It is a very sad fact, but almost everyone knows someone who is the victim of domestic abuse. It does not discriminate by gender, ethnicity, or age group, plus it is true that 95 percent of its victims are women. The bruises, scars, and emotional wounds will affect one in every three women in the U.S. yet countless women return, again and again, to their abusers. They are trapped in the revolving door of abuse. For those who are able to escape, the choices are grim: poverty, homelessness, and health problems await many women and their children. Our next guest, fames author, nationally syndicated newspaper columnist, professional speaker Jane Boucher is here to talk about her book “ESCAPING DOMESTIC ABUSE: HOW WOMEN GET OUT AND STAY OUT”. In this revealing and candid book, you will meet courageous women who broke away from abusive relationships to escape the agonizing pain and find lasting peace. And is our pleasure to welcome Jane Boucher to Your Life Matters this morning.
