”What kind of life is this you live? Can you remember even one day you didn’t go to bed afraid and wake up afraid?”

She provides an insider perspective on the horrors of domestic violence and child abuse that inform and inspire the reader to help those who struggle.
Unthinkable Horrors - a True-Life Story
From the opening passages, Parks tells us of being witness to spousal abuse as her father would hit and kick her mother. She then begins to recount stories of her father’s “games” in which he would routinely nearly strangle his children.
Verbal and physical beatings were a daily occurrence. Jena lived in terror of her father’s rage, often made worse by his alcoholism.
She tells of the delight he would take in threatening to kill her or her mother.
How Could This Kind of Domestic Abuse Continue Unchallenged?
Parks helps the reader to understand how domestic violence can take root and go unchallenged for years - often until too late.
She reminds us that child abuse, spousal abuse, and domestic violence thrive in silence - and that they form the most secretive and horrific epidemics known today.
It is through educating ourselves about the reality of domestic violence that we can gain insight into the extensive and crippling effects on the children who are born into and raised inside of that dark world. And this empowers us to speak up and take action to help those in need.
