“A Letter to a Friend: The Story of Abuse in America” boldly illustrates the reality too many people face on a daily basis. Not only is it a resource that can help those facing abuse, but sheds light on many key signs and warnings to look for in abusive relationships. With each page, you can feel the love and empathy the author has for victims, and her desire to help them have a brighter, safer future. I highly recommend this easy and insightful read to everyone, as statistics sadly show how common abuse is in today’s world.

A Necessary Topic. A Letter to a Friend is about abuse, a topic we keep secret when we so need to be talking about it and asking for help. The author couples her songwriting talent with a tough subject to make it easier to read as well as letting her reader know she’s not alone.

Our society seems to be awakening to the plight that many have endured abuse. Those who have suffered silently are emerging from the shadows. “A Letter to a Friend” stands to be a helpful resource and guide to accompany individuals and families searching for light – those going through abuse and struggling with what their next step will be. There is a sweet comfort given when someone who is experiencing pain and suffering can hear from someone who has been there, who can truly say, #metoo.
I will be sharing this book as a resource for those in recovery from abuse and trauma.
Thank you Patty for being a voice crying out in the wilderness, preparing a path for healing and hope!
