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 Heddaβs 12 years with Steinberg, and how she went from quiet book editor to notorious battered woman, blamed for her daughterβs death because she didnβt βget outβ 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 womenβwriting and speaking, and teaching women how to stay out of and/or to survive intimate terrorism.
