woman's ending. If only it were! It is the story of one woman's journey
to begin the process of regaining her power and creating her life -

"The author of
Escaping the Glass Cage, Kathleen M. Milliken, has survived domestic
violence that was literally a life-and-death experience. She has not
only survived, but has thrived as an author and advocate, wife and
mother. It’s hard to realize how close Ms. Schmidt came to either ending
her life, or having it end by the hands of her (ex) husband.
Escaping
the Glass Cage is a short book with a big message. Domestic abuse is
rampant in our society. It is estimated that one in three women will
experience some form of abuse in her lifetime. People often ask, “Why
doesn’t she leave?” when the question could be, “Why didn’t he stop?”
Most likely than not, the abuse stops only if/when she leaves. Kathleen
provides the reader with her account of how she planned her escape from
the verbal and physical abuse she endured on a daily basis.
Kathleen
generously shares her story of hope, but it wasn’t easy for her to
achieve balance in her life. She made conscious choices to heal, using
methods that enlightened and empowered her. She writes in a concise and
chronological style, offering just enough information for the reader to
absorb as she is able. (Women in crisis are often unable to
concentrate.)
Kathleen hosts a blog-talk radio show that brings
awareness to the social problem of domestic violence (and other
problems) with a focus on solving these problems one empowered woman at a
time."
