The cycle of abuse goes on because we let the abusers continue. This book deals with domestic abuse and the victims. Often times the victims are unwilling to leave the abusive situation because of a lot of reasons, financial dependency, love etc etc. But it is onto us to decide when to leave a situation. I have never, thank God  been in an abusive situation myself or seen one firsthand. This book gives a detailed view of the mindset of the victim when dealing with abuse and the strength and determination it takes to break the cycle. That's all I can say without giving a spoiler.
