The Dedan Tolbert Show's Spotlight on Domestic Violence

Philadelphia, PA, April 04, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Tune into The Dedan Tolbert Show on Tuesday March 31st for the Spotlight on Domestic Violence Part II.

Dedan Tolbert will be joined by two survivors of abusive relationships who have overcome their circumstances to write deeply moving books about their experiences.

Karen Thompkins, a psychiatric registered nurse at Mercy Philadelphia Hospital was a victim of domestic violence from 1995 to 2002. For seven years, she battled with her own emotions and the unstable temper of her boyfriend turned spouse. Next month, Karter Publishing will release Karen's debut novel DOUBLE INSANITY: A Novel (Trade Paperback; Pub Date: April 21, 2009; $14.95; ISBN 10: 0-9820674-9-6). DOUBLE INSANITY by Karen Thompkins is the drama-filled, reality-inspired, contemporary debut that will surely stir readers up and have them wanting to make a difference. In her first novel, Karen Thompkins takes readers on a crazy tumultuous relationship cursed with partner abuse.

As a survivor of domestic abuse, Karen Thompkins is passionate about bringing awareness to Domestic Violence. DOUBLE INSANITY will contain Domestic Violence Resource Guide of national agencies and hotlines along with a personal letter of HOPE to abused women. From Hollywood to Harlem, Domestic Violence is not confined to any one socioeconomic, ethnic, religious, racial or age group and knows no geographic or educational boundaries. It also occurs within teenage relationships and among same-sex partnerships.

Also on the panel will be Angela Murphy, author of “Crossover to Healing”.

Angela Murphy wants women to know that there’s a difference between surviving and enduring. Surviving is victory as an aftermath. When you endure, there is no end. Victims of sexual abuse typically endure and she wants Crossover to Healing to show that you can have victory as a survivor! The pain is evident the journey is inevitable and the healing is attainable.
