Author Susan Collis's book is unique because it deals with young people specifically, rather than children, and how domestic violence has affected their lives. It tells the stories of five young people in an in-depth and excellent way.

Knowing a great deal about the topic already, this book didn't offer me much new insight into the subject, but it did make it a lot clearer and it will help me to explain issues to other professionals during training on the topic.

The ideas, story, voices, pathways and coping mechanics for each young person is written about fully and explained clearly.
