Standing Alone: Young Love & Domestic Violence (Paperback)

"True love seeks to protect and not harm. Don't lie to yourself and believe that he can change if you do or say things differently. That's the lie we tell ourselves to keep him close, but all the while, we imprison ourselves." -excerptOn June 20, 1999, Tiffany Ealey began life as a wife, a decision that would shift the course of her journey. She was young when she married, and it was her love and her hopes of a future that hindered her ability to see the red flags. Her husband's temperament and his violent nature floated to the surface not too long after they were married, and since then, the violence inflicted upon her only escalated. With nowhere to run to, no one to help her leave the marriage, submissive she remained. Although she confided in the people she most trusted and disclosed domestic violence, no one helped her. It's because of her experience that she now boldly shares her story to help many women have the courage to speak and seek for help."Knock and seek until the windows of heaven open because, with God, all things are possible to those who believe."
