Ruth M. Glenn wasn't surprised the first timeher husband beat her. She was hurt and disappointed but after a childhood in a broken and violent home, she was not surprised. After all, this was just the way things were, right? It was only after she lay bleeding in a carwash parking lot, after being shot three times by him, that Glenn resolved-if she managed to survive-to spend the rest of her life combating domestic violence. Now, she brings her full story to the forefront with this survivor's tale crossed with a rousing call to action. She reveals her difficult but ultimately rewarding journey from that parking lot to sacrificing everything to obtain her GED, followed by her JD. With her evocative and thoughtful voice, Glenn explores the reasons why men beat and kill women, why women and children areseen as lesser in our society, how to stop victim blaming, and how to demystify domestic violence to stop it once and for all. A memoir of resilience and courage, Everything I Never Dreamed is a necessary book that proves that abuse does not have to define a survivor's entire life"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Glenn, Ruth M. 650 0 $a Abused wives $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women $x Abuse of $z United States. 650 0 $a Women $x Violence against $z United States. 650 0 $a Family violence $z United States. $9 83565 610 20 $a National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (U.S.) 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Glenn, Ruth M. $t Everything I never dreamed $d New York : Atria Books, 2022 $z 9781982196028 $w (DLC) 2022016026 941 $a 14 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409043123.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20240409011544.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125011352.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206011254.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010025924.0 952 $l YSPD232 $d 20230923010830.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20230602011143.0 952 $l ZUPD675 $d 20230329011556.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20230124012236.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20221202011526.0 952 $l KOPC446 $d 20221028011648.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20221008010841.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20221006011344.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20221004014628.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CC6F6EC61D2811EDA31652FF20ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
