Philadelphia, PA, November 21, 2007 --(
PR.com)-- In She Said It Was All a Lie, Thomas Frisbie takes a different and unique perspective on the realities of domestic violence, using both poetry and prose to educate others on how an abuser becomes abusive.
Outskirts Press is pleased to announce the publication of She Said It Was All a Lie by Pennsylvanian author Thomas Frisbie.
What do you think of when you hear the term “domestic violence?” Like most people, you probably envision a woman suffering cruelly at the hands of her spouse, boyfriend, or partner. Indeed, this does happen—and all too often. But this does not sum up the intricacies of domestic violence. The wounds, the physical bruises, will heal over time. But the scars can linger forever in the mind. Emotional abuse often precedes physical abuse; it is a more devious and deceptive way of controlling another. Oftentimes, the victim does not comprehend the depth of abuse until the damage is done. Outsiders rarely recognize the signs.
All this sounds familiar, you say? Perhaps. But what is not commonly known is that men are as often the victim of abuse as women. The public stigma, the certainty of ridicule, prevent many men from admitting to being abused.
She Said It Was All a Lie is an attempt to educate men and women to the realities of domestic violence, and what causes an abuser to become abusive. It is a brilliantly written work, beautifully crafted, sweeping in scope, original, and fascinating.
