Tanya is a survivor of 'The Cycle of Violence/Abuse' and has combined her journey from 'hopelessness to success' with empirical evidence and practice experience, and gives deep insight into 'risk- factors' that lead to becoming either the victim or perpetrator of relationship abuse, and what is needed to overcome. Any woman who has already experienced abuse in her life will be guided on avenues of healing trauma and breaking 'The Cycle of Violence/Abuse'.

In the words of Anita Roberts, Founder of 'Safeteen International' and a member of the 'Canadian Task-Force in the Prevention of Gender Based Violence' who provides a sector in the manual's section for parents, "In my 4 decades in this field I have rarely come across a more impactful book on DV. I would call Tanya's work both powerful and hopeful".
