Assume Nothing: A Story of Intimate Violence par Tanya Selvaratnam
I won this book through a Goodreads giveaway. Wow. Selvaratnam tells her story of abuse, painting the picture of how it happened and detailed her brave escape. If you’ve ever thought “I don’t understand why she doesn’t leave...” then you need to read this book.
This book should be required reading for anyone who doesn’t understand why women don’t leave abusive relationship. I ripped through this book in a day, it was well written and researched.
I won this book in a goodreads giveaway.

A brave and sobering recounting.… (plus d'informations)
