Readings

I've decided to put up an important book each month from A Survivor on my site. I got a email from a friend about this one and decided that I wanted to share it with everyone:

Dancing with the Devil: A Memoir by Amy Norman

"My goals for writing Dancing with the Devil were to
give those living with violence the chance to realise that there is hope,
and the opportunity to move onto a better life, even though at the time
there seems little or no hope at all. I also wanted to reach those who don't
understand it at all and hopefully wipe out some of the myths that still
exist in the minds of so many." Amy Norman, Author.

 

 

Info about the book: It's published in Australia by Random House Australia and here's a link to send people to: http://www.randomhouse.com.au/WEB_ASP/ttle_detail.asp?isbn=1863254684

 

UK Readers:

 

This book will become available in the UK on March 1st under the name Living with the Devil. It'll be available from Jon Blake Publishing; here's the url: www.blake.co.uk/
