ITEM OVERVIEW
Rosalind B. Penfold is an appealing, successful, 35-year-old businesswoman running her own company when she falls deeply in love with widower Brian. But soon Roz begins to notice troubling signs that Brian is not what he seems. A pattern of lies and petty cruelties begins to emerge that, over the course of their decade together, comes to encompass a litany of physical, mental, and sexual abuse appalling in its scope and malevolence. Often too traumatized and ashamed to admit the true extent of what she is experiencing, Roz instead pours her anguish into a series of graphic diaries that provide a touching, profoundly shocking, and completely original portrait of domestic abuse. An extraordinary visual testimony, Dragonslippers,/i> presents the many warning signs of abuse and offers a frank examination of the psychology of both abusers and victims. "Deft, honest... Compelling." -Publishers Weekly
