Readers Write

Here are some things readers have said about Household:


“Household is a riveting story of increasing intimate partner violence...” -Joan Zorza, Founding Editor, Domestic Violence Report.

 ~~~

“Margaret is like many other women in similar situations: They allow secondary considerations...to overrule what they know to be true... the book is lovely, lyrical, and...well worth a read.” -Gina Hamilton, The New Maine Times

 ~~~

“One of the virtually universal--perhaps essential--aspects of an abusive relationship is the warping and denial of your reality: being told convincingly that you are wrong, or that what you perceive or believe is not true.” -David C. Bellows, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist, Brunswick 

~~~

“I find the book captivating...we don't always understand the mental stress we live under until after we are out of the ‘household’ and living our lives in comfort, joy and peace...”   -Donna Barrett, Brunswick

 ~~~

“I couldn’t put it down! I kept getting pulled into the story...” -T.S., Baldwin

~~~

“...a magnificently written book...” -J.B., Bangor

~~~

“It was hard for me to read. So much of this story reminded me of my own abusive relationship, and I felt like Margaret – caught, confused, and very frightened.” -D.S., Portland
