This month is National Domestic Violence Awareness month and I am reading a few books this month that focus on this troubling issue in different ways. Today I am giving a book review on one of these.
Jeanne Marie taunts her book as “A No Help At All Handbook” and it is with this degree of sarcasm that she presents her case. Domestic violence is a very serious issue affecting more people in America than the statistics can begin to show. Jeanne Marie does an excellent job aiding women to identify themselves as being in a dysfunctional relationship and what to do (or not to do) about it with her “Twelve Slips”, a spoof off of the Twelve Steps programs. While the small book with big ideas uses a rather comical approach to getting women to loosen up and look seriously at their own behaviors, as well as the behaviors of others, the highly qualified author also emphasizes the importance of recognizing where you may be going wrong and where you can go right. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who even suspects that they might be in a dysfunctional relationship. Even if you are not, you will be entertained, and maybe learn something you can use to help another individual less fortunate. It is both moving and inspirational. It is a brief book, an easy read, and quite affordable as it is FREE right now at smashwords. Download and read a copy today. This is easily a five star book.

Some time ago as a teacher/observer I got to spend a day at Domestic Violence Division, Miami Dade state attorneys office. I remain horrified, sickened and astonished at the amount of savagery existing in our communities.

It is quite bad. I have heard some real horror stories in my profession and seen some truly wicked and hideous sights.

It was a pleasure. I know it is a weird thing to say that you enjoyed a book about Domestic Violence and abusive relationships, but somehow I did. You are a talented author and I will post this to smashwords also. If you are okay with that.

Hi! This is Jeanne Marie and I wanted to give you an update about my book, Women Who Think Too Much! I have a new cover and I am going to print in the next week. I have also edited and added to it with the help of MichelleMarie, Creative Publishing, my partner from thinkingpinkx2@wordpress.com.
It will be available from LuLu and other popular POD sellers including Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
I have pulled it from Smashwords until I can format the new edition for an ebook.
Thank you so much for your awesome review and your support!
