Author’s New Book Provides
Social Awareness of Domestic Violence and What One Woman Does to End It
There are many
misconceptions about domestic violence. Many people don’t know that
domestic violence crosses all walks of life and affects the rich and
poor alike, young and old, all languages and cultures, and both women
and men. Author Alma Hudson’s book The Trouble with Change shows that
there is hope in hopelessness for those suffering from domestic
violence.
Sondra’s only dream in life is
to complete college and make her family proud. But when she moves into
an apartment she can barely afford near the University of Southern
California, her dreams start changing.
After
paying for school with an academic scholarship and barely surviving with
very little money, her suspicious and somewhat creepy neighbor Vick
shows an interest in her. But Sondra still has her mind set on the goal
of completing college. After Vick’s many attempts to force his
attentions on her, she gives in and starts a relationship with him, a
relationship filled with domestic and sexual violence. Sondra thinks
that if only she could change Vick, their relationship would work and
she could finish her education. Will Sondra be able to change Vick’s
violent behaviors and settle back down into the life she’s always wanted
for herself, or will Vick end up changing her forever?
