It never seizes to amaze me about people’s reactions when they are approached; either no response or response with interest probing about the book. Those who probed ended up purchasing the book or sharing a story of their or their friend’s experience. Their compassion was palpable.
My objective during the book signing was to promote lively conversations about abuse and neglect many women and teen girls are enduring and to sell my book so that the owner would perpetuate the conversation or give the book to someone who has opportunities to perpetuate the conversation and shed light on abuse. I was very pleased that the people who purchased my book shared my objectives. Compassion lives in many people.
At the end of the day I said to myself, there are people who care! Compassion is alive and well. It was uplifting to feel that way. Those who were willing to stop and talk desired to be enlightened.
If you know someone who is in an unhealthy relationship, be their cheerleader.
