About the book
In her own words, in a clear voice, Truusje van Zanten describes how she fell for the wrong man, how she and her children became victims of domestic violence and how she freed herself from his grasp.
In this true story, she does not spare herself, nor the institutions with which she fights, for her own good, but above all for the sake of her children.
Here and there she finds an audience, but also a lot of misunderstanding. Obstacles are overcome.
Little by little, she pays off all her debts, but the threat of her abusive husband
Hangs over their lives like a dark cloud
The outcome is uncertain. How will her children develop?
Truusje wrote this story to be able to share it with the world and especially with all other victims of domestic violence, who will learn many wise lessons from this book, but also to hold up a mirror to the many agencies that were involved in her 'case'. The book is not an indictment, but a report that hurts and offers hope. And it reads like a train.
