Domestic Differences: Love Can Change a Family

By Anthony Harris

Book Overview

For four years now, AJ has watched his mother suffer abuse at the hands of his father. Unable to prevent his father's drunken outbursts, AJ channels his fear, hurt, and hope into poetry. As the abuse continues to escalate during AJ's senior year of high school, he is pushed by his best friend to share his poetry with his mother, which opens her eyes to the reality of their situation and the feelings that her son has been harboring for years. This eye-opening narrative is an intimate look into the lives of those affected by domestic violence. Domestic Differences is a step toward what AJ himself seeks to promote: an open dialogue about domestic violence and support for those who are trapped in abusive homes and those who are in recovery. With the use of his own son's original poems, Anthony Harris has brought his family's personal perspectives and their shared love of writing to life through the characters in these pages.
