In the U.S. - over 10 million adults experience domestic violence annually. 1 in 4 women and 1 in 10 men will experience it in their lifetime. On a typical day, domestic violence hotlines nationwide receive almost 20,000 calls. And Covid-19 has only exacerbated the problem.
In her new book, Paper Doll Lina, author Robyn Lucas delivers a deeply moving portrait of life as the victim of domestic abuse, something she experienced first-hand during her 19-year marriage. As October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, she discusses not only her book, but also identifying abuse, seeking and offering help, and finding resources.
