You need to read this book because it will help you try to understand domestic abuse not only from a theoretical position but will let you take part in the discussions of Betty, Gail, Jean and Joanne as they talk about what happened to them, to learn and reflect on their actions. The groups' discussions, and the reflective research diaries of the writer are used to provide a story of how a group of women try to rationalise irrationality and take action in their community. In doing so they endeavour to improve the response of professionals and help other women in the same situation. The book uses narrative theory and story telling as a method, to show how the process of being involved in action research plays out and evolves - each memory / action opens up new ways of looking at domestic violence discourse - presenting a kaleidoscope of experiences. This book tries to help communicate these ideas to readers in the hope that we can improve our professional and community response to violence against women using community education as a vehicle of change.
