#1 New Book Release
Safe and Sound
“A powerful resource in the fight against domestic violence.”
Is this normal? Am I overreacting? Is it abuse even if he’s never hit me?
If you’ve asked these questions, you’re not alone. One in four women will face intimate partner violence in their lifetime, yet many never recognize it as abuse.
Abuse doesn’t always come with bruises. It often starts with charm and affection, then twists into control—subtle looks that make you second-guess yourself, stinging comments, or pressure to distance yourself from friends and family. Control deepens as your choices, finances, and stability become entangled with theirs.
In Safe and Sound, advocate Valerie Flanigan highlights the hidden reality of coercive control and the tactics abusers use to dominate their partners. Drawing on over 30 years of experience with survivors, this book offers clarity, validation, and tools for victims to reclaim their lives.
You’ll learn to:
- Recognize the signs of all forms of abuse
- Understand the mindset of abusers
- Create safety plans for you and your children
- Navigate the legal system with confidence
You are not crazy. You are not too sensitive. You are not the problem.
Your journey to healing, safety, and freedom starts here.
