Description
This Czech-language memoir recounts Tina Nash’s experience of severe domestic violence. For months, she suffers beatings and humiliation from her partner, Shane Jenkin, yet repeatedly returns to him, convinced that he may change, that she can change him, or that she herself is to blame. Although her family and friends urge her to leave, she gradually cuts herself off from them and becomes completely isolated. One evening in April 2011, Shane beats Tina unconscious and gouges out her eyes, then leaves her in agony for twelve hours while blaming her for the attack. Doctors are unable to restore her sight. After a long and often despairing recovery, Tina writes openly about her feelings and the reasons she could not leave the man who abused her. Her story warns women in similar situations, gives them courage to resist abuse, and helps those around victims understand what is happening and find the courage to intervene.
