Breaking the Silence: The Truth About Domestic Violence by Josiah Cornell
A groundbreaking and unflinching exploration of one of society’s most urgent issues.
Domestic violence is not confined to statistics or headlines, t is lived every day in silence, fear, and survival. In this captivating and deeply personal work, Josiah Cornell draws on years of professional experience in the justice system, prisons, and domestic violence services to reveal the raw truth behind abuse. This is not theory. This is the voice of survivors, the patterns of perpetrators, and the systemic failures that allow the cycle to continue.
Breaking the Silence: The Truth About Domestic Violence is not merely a book; it serves as an essential examination of the often-overlooked aspects of domestic violence. It highlights the critical issues society tends to ignore and calls for a collective response to create change.
This work serves as a powerful platform for survivors who have been silenced, empowering them to share their experiences and gain the recognition they deserve. It challenges the common question many ask: Why didn’t they leave? and instead prompts us to consider: How were they made to stay? This shift in perspective inspires hope and a renewed commitment to understanding and addressing domestic violence.
The book addresses subtle but devastating forms of abuse, including coercive control, trauma bonding, economic abuse, tech-enabled abuse, female genital mutilation, honour-based violence, and post-separation abuse. It also provides insights into rebuilding one’s life after trauma, offering practical guidance for recovery and reassurance that healing is possible.
Straightforward and no-nonsense, this book combines lived experience, research, and survivor voices. It is must-read for professionals in social care, education, law, mental health, safeguarding, or healthcare, as well as for survivors and allies seeking clarity and understanding.
In a society where silence perpetuates abuse, speaking the truth becomes a powerful tool for change.
Breaking the Silence: The Truth About Domestic Violence is more than awareness, it’s a call to action. A crucial resource in recognising the signs of abuse and equipping readers to stand with survivors.
