Non-Fiction Memoir
Hedda Nussbaum, battered and bruised after years of
domestic torture by her domestic partner, Joel Steinberg,
was abruptly thrown into the public spotlight in November
1987 after Steinberg assaulted and killed their daughter,
Lisa. This book tells the painful story of Hedda’s 12 years
with Steinberg, and how she went from quiet book editor to
notorious battered woman, blamed for her daughter’s death
because she didn’t “get out” soon enough. But, as the title
suggests, Hedda not only survived the double abuse but grew
strong in the process and went on to become an advocate for
other battered women—writing and speaking, and teaching
women how to stay out of and/or to survive intimate
terrorism.
