About This Book
Rachel Louise Snyder spent years investigating domestic violence — its perpetrators, survivors, and the systems meant to address it. She argues that intimate partner violence is the foundation of most mass shootings and other forms of public violence, and profiles rehabilitation programs trying to change abusive men. Winner of the Lukas Book Prize and shortlisted for the NBCC Award.
