<p>Whenever friends and family hear or see a loved one being abused in a relationship, their first question always seems to be, "Why doesn't she just leave?" This book uses real victims' stories, supported by the latest research on domestic violence, to explain the economic, social and legal reasons that often prevent women from leaving an abuser. Written for friends, family and coworkers, this book helps readers recognize the social structures that enable abuse, and how society fosters it. One researcher from the University of Washington's Men's Domestic Abuse Checkup Project calls the book, "A vivid and powerful first-hand account of women's survival, strength and resilience. A must read for everyone..." Includes resources as well as eight simple things anyone can do to end domestic abuse.</p>
