O knihe

Why didn't she leave?

The myriad micro-wounds of coercive control usually go unspoken. Shame, love, loyalty and fear guarantees victim silence. When abuse escalates and official domestic violence reports are made, our system for protection actually encourages abusers, by embedding that silence.

Until now.

Lexi's journey of coercive control and how it escalates is harrowing. The frightening ease of 'obnoxious and controlling' escalating to life-threatening and the futility of asking for help. This level of bravery should never be required inside your own home.

Surviving reveals what's unfolding for Lexi and thousands of others like her, right now. So common it might be your story, your sister's, your daughter's. This ground-breaking, deeply personal account of the daily reality of domestic violence, Surviving is essential reading.

One Australian woman dies every week in domestic violence. The tragic homicides that make the news are just the tip of the iceberg. Surviving is the rest of that iceberg.

Alexi Baker is the mother of three young kids, living in hiding in Brisbane, Australia. An educated, confident professional, she's obsessively dedicated to the kids.

Alexi and her children Jack, Evie and Scout all love watermelon and adventures. Trapped in a system that tangles, they continue to rebuild. Their biggest fear is losing each other- but for this family, the risk is high.
