Customer Reviews

Necessary and courageous addition to survivor literature
I've read the Australian edition of Amy's book, titled "Dancing with the Devil." Ms. Norman's brutal honesty will sear the complacent who think that living with an abuser is an easy thing to escape. Her courage will inspire hope for women who are still trapped in relationships of abuse. Her strength will encourage survivors trying to heal from the trauma that is domestic violence. People training in the field of domestic violence would do well to read this for an understanding of the dynamics that occur between abusers and their partners. Highly recommended.

Thanks, Amy. Your voice is a gift to the world.
