This is a book of hope, of transformation. It's a creative venture showing the relationship between a loyal kitty, named Toto, and a victim of domestic violence and drug abuse. This book shows how one woman, Gail Moffett, escaped a near fatal situation, and her trials and tribulations of living her life clean and sober. With her constant companion, Toto, she was able to stave-off the lonely days and nights that came after her crisis, and get the help she needed to remove herself from the abusive system altogether. Gail uses her experience to bring to light the devastating possibilities of domestic violence. In a world where domestic violence is rampant, one out of three homes, this tale shows how one person broke free of the bonds of domestic violence. Please remember, where domestic abuse is concerned, "Lack of Physical violence is no indication of lethality." Just because he does not hit, this is no indication that he wouldn't kill. Gail's abuser was ready and willing to do the disastrous deed, but destiny usurped the situation and saved the day. If you are reading this and live with Domestic Violence, or drug abuse, please do what you need to do to take care of yourself. You are worth the effort to have a life free of domestic abuse. If alcohol or drug addiction is your situation, there are countless avenues with which to choose to properly treat your disease. Hope is out there, Recovery is real.
