I would have come to your launch but I was in Europe at the time so unfortunately I couldn't make it. I'm going over to watch the videos right now...

I read the first chapter and watched the videos. Great stuff. You do have a way with words. I like how you introduce new story lines seamlessly.
I could see during your speech that you are still greatly affected by what you have seen. Has writing the book been a cathartic experience? Bit of therapy for you?
The launch was a big do wasn't it? Well done.
I'm currently reading 'Some Girls Do....my life as a teenager'. A friend of mine is involved with the Sister to Sister mentoring program. They are her chosen charity for her thesis.
The things women have endured..... I wonder if men have endured as much?
Love & stuff

Thanks so much for stopping by and watching the video. It was a huge turn-out -about 160 people, my publisher couldn't believe the crowd.
I have to say the book was cathartic, it was me laying to rest a lot of ghosts from that traumatic time in my life. I still cry very easily when I read about violence to women and children - these recent family murders just cut me to my core. I hate how women suffer in this world. And there is no question - women suffer far more than men. Violence against women is a very speciific cultural phenomenon, and affects women in ALL cultures, in EVERY society and though there are men who are subject to violence and rape, the majority of victims are women and children. I once thought I could do something to change the world - I wanted to stop violence against women. Now I realise all I can do is write about it and hope that the message will trickle out there.
Thanks again for your support
