Publisher's Summary

Viral mom blogger Brooke Binkley tells her painful story about the domestic violence she endured while simultaneously becoming a public figure, and uses her story to highlight the many types of domestic violence that both victims and survivors experience. 

On the outside, Brooke was the funny vlogger making moms laugh across the world, but behind closed doors, she was experiencing nearly every form of domestic violence that existed. In this painful memoir, she shares her experience with domestic violence and how she planned for six weeks to ultimately escape the abuse. 

From her first domestic violence-related hospital visit to post-separation abuse, stalking and harassment, Brooke describes what it’s like to be the victim of domestic violence - the leading cause of injury to women - more than car accidents, muggings, and rapes combined. This book answers the nagging question: “How did someone once described as a ‘Firecracker’ become a victim of physical, financial, emotional, and sexual abuse?” and “Why did she stay?”

Excellent, need to check audio though

The story itself is very powerful, and insightful. It is both educational and helps people gain deeper insight into the insidious nature of abuse, and a powerful story as you are on the edge of your seat listening to her experiences.

One problem with the audio is that the end of every chapter cuts out. It is very frustrating when you are into her story and then it cuts off the audio and goes straight to the next chapter. I’d like to re-listen to it after they’ve resolved that issue. Then I’d give it 5/5!
