DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE...all too often it ends tragically.
WHY DO THEY STAY?
The physical violence is not the way it begins. It begins with the systematic chipping away at the person's sense of worth...over and over again...BRAINWASHING.
WHY DON'T THEY GO TO THE POLICE?
What are the police to do?
The perpetrator is not going to stay in jail long, and God help the victim when that perpetrator is released.
HOW CAN WE HELP? By spending just $1.99 on my current release
BEYOND YESTERDAY and come back and spend not much more for my October, November and December releases.
My name is Lin Holmes and I write as L.J. Holmes. MY royalties for these four books will go to :
THE PROVIDENCE HOUSE
P.O. BOX 496
WILLINGBORO, NJ 08046
ATTN: RUTH JACKSON
856-824-0599
In 1982 this shelter made it possible for me to finally leave (my fourth try over ten years), my violent ex-husband an agent with the federal government...ATF who used his gun and power in ways that would haunt you were I to recap them here.
The Providence House relies primarily on donations. I'm not asking you to donate...I'm asking you to buy my books...really good books...and let me use my profits to give back to the place that allowed me to live through what should have killed me...and my children.
We at Muse Publishing, Inc. care about you and the world we all live in. Help us help all of us.
Thank you.

Great cause, Lin. I'm sorry you had to suffer the abuse and am glad you finally got away.
I applaud you, Lin. What you are doing is so noble. Unfortunately, I too can identify to a certain degree with what you lived through at the hands of one dedicated "to serve and protect." My abuse was mostly emotional...mostly. And, thankfully, no children were involved. Looking forward to supporting your important cause.
Blessings,
Joelle Walker
