Patty Wain Smith provides relevant scripture as her thought-provoking book takes you on the journey of abuse in America. This book shares the raw truth and provides insightful statistics. It is not only a tool for those in abusive relationships, but it is an awareness of this, often hidden, commonality. It is easy to become encompassed by this well-written book, as I finished reading it in 2 days. As a bonus, the author wrote a beautiful song to go along with the book. I highly recommend this purchase!

A sensitive and thought provoking must-read. A Letter to a Friend felt like an intimate conversation with someone I love very much. I was moved to tears, I felt like I knew this person. I wish everyone would read this because no matter what we think we know about victims and their abusers, we don’t. And because we may want to say those words to someone, but something is holding us back. These words are thoughtful without being judgmental. I would definitely recommend it!

Simply amazing! I feel very strongly this book can aid and empower victims, ultimately helping them to transition from victims to survivors.
