by Jill Aston Lovett (Author)
Jill Aston Lovett writes with exceptional honesty about her experiences of domestic violence and coercive control at the hands of her ex-husband. She also examines how biblical misinterpretations can victimise a wife until she is caught in a web of powerlessness, blame and shame.
Jill also describes her struggle at the age of almost sixty to re-create her life as a homeless and financially stressed woman. She includes quotes from her own journals and important authors on the subject of women and domestic violence.
She gained a Masters in English and Communication as well as a Masters in Theology through external study which enabled her to examine in depth the struggles of women through the centuries and today in finding their roles in society.
Jill has written this book in the hope that any readers who may be experiencing the same domestic violence/coercive control as she has done, will find hope and inspiration to set themselves free.
