Sobre o autor
Helen L. Webster first became involved in the treatment and education of family violence in 1982. Over this span of time, she spent thirteen years as an anger management therapist in Calgary, Canada, working with the extremely violent patients as well as victims of abuse. This led to the publication of her first book, Taming the Dragon, anger management for three-to-eight-year-olds. In working with the violent, Webster learned and was privy to many stories about family violence and abuse in the home. She made a decision. She would take all the pain and grief the participants shared with her over the years and write a book about what it is really like when men, women, and children are caught up in a cycle of violence.
If you or the ones you love find yourself relating to the fictional characters (done to conceal the identity of those involved in this story), then it is imperative that you seek help. Contact a shelter in your area.
