Searing photographic images of woman battering-the beatings, the wounds, the crying children, the police in the house-with riveting text as well. A crucial work by an award-winning photographer.

For over twenty years, Donna Ferrato has been documenting the effects of domestic violence on abused women and their children. Photographing in emergency rooms and shelters, courtrooms and activist rallies, batterers’ groups and women’s detention centers, Ferrato aims to expose “the dark side of family life.”
