Rating: 4.5/5
Stop by the author Colleen Williams is the first book that I have read by her. This book contains stories and poems about the domestic violence and sexual abuse that author has gone through. I really loved below lines from the poem:
Why are you putting your hands on me?
This is not how I imagined my life to be.
How did I end up with you?
I’m tired of my skin turning black and blue.
I walked away because I know I deserve
better; in a perfect world
I will get love and happiness.
If I stay with you
it will only be sadness and bitterness.
I’m tired of fighting for my life. I never
planned to be an abused wife.
I started to make excuses for you. I started to cover the scars and the bruises, started to blame myself for your sickness.
Then I stopped.
In the letter to her exes, instead of being mad at those guys, Colleen is thankful to them as she is happy and strong today because of whatever happened to her. The world has become so harsh that even neighbor’s can’t be trusted with a girl child security.
Title of the book is short, sweet and really apt. Cover page is nice. This book motivates the one who is suffering due to domestic violence to come out of such a relationship. I really appreciate Colleen for sharing her life experiences with us in the form of a book. Looking forward to read more books by the author Colleen Williams.
It’s a promising read that I strongly recommend to my fellow readers.
