More Details

Summary:

"Private violence explores a simple but deeply disturbing fact of American life: the most dangerous place for a woman in America is her own home. Every day in the U.S., at least four women are murdered by abusive partners or ex-partners. Through the eyes of two survivors -- Deanna Walters, a mother who seeks justice for the crimes committed against her at the hands of her estranged husband, and Kit Gruelle, an advocate who seeks justice for all women -- we bear witness to the complex realities of intimate partner violence). Their experiences challenge entrenched and misleading assumptions, providing a lens into a world that is largely invisible."--Container.
