Walk Out the Door

Walk Out the Door
by Pearl Wolfe and Evelyn Anderton
A behind the curtain of domestic violence, and how it affects the victim, the family, and friends. The violence affects the children, and you see how many give one more chance as abuse starts with red flags. Not every victim or any go in seeing abuse as it begins. It clearly shows and explains how "why don't they just leave" is not as easy as the advice. Good read.

A story based around domestic violence which really caught my attention. It was the subject matter throughout the entire book and effected many people, their family, work life and friends. I was pleased to hear about the support mechanisms in place for the characters for both victims and abusers. It sometimes takes cruel times like these that bring people together, a very engaging read.

Thanks to Atmosphere Press and NetGalley for allowing me an advanced copy to read. As always, my reviews will also be posted on Amazon, Goodreads and Waterstones and interaction on Facebook and instagram where possible.

A powerful book about domestic violence that captured my attention within the first couple of pages. My heart was pounding! Good character development and you can tell the authors know this subject matter from the descriptive language and details. Well done. Fast-paced, four stars. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

WOW what a story about trauma and domestic violence. Definitely would recommend. Loved the writing.

This was at times a very hard book to read but done so so well. A book about domestic violence and trauma. The story and the characters felt very real to me throughout the books and stories. It was engaging and informative also.

This book hit home! As a woman who’s been through DV all I can say is wow wow wow the trauma and DV is well written and at times hard to read but definitely an eye opener!

Well written and a easy read. The father and son both being abusive, was a great storyline really added more of a twist in the book. I'm glad that Matt side was in the story. I feel without it, it would have been not as interesting. I really enjoyed this read and would recommend it.

Focusing on domestic violence, the novel does some hard hitting on a very volatile, sensitive subject.
There are several incidents involving egregious domestic battery with several of the main characters.
The novel touches on the feelings and emotions of both the abusers and their victims, allowing readers to see both.
It sends a powerful message to anyone who has endured such abuse, there is help and hope.

”Walk Out The Door” is a story about generational domestic violence. It is written in a simple prose, but the authors seamlessly portray how easy it is to fall into the trap of manipulation set by the abuser. We can sympathize with the protagonist, Liz, when she realizes her new husband isn’t being completely honest and open with her. When others start noticing that her husband is controlling and has angry outbursts, they step in to help Liz understand that her safety is paramount, especially since she’s pregnant. Both family and friends gently guide her to the truth.

Domestic violence is easy to ignore for those of us who are not affected by it. That’s why stories such as this are so important. The authors both write from a place of expertise in domestic violence. There’s a complexity to this story equal to that of domestic abuse victims.

This book is worthy of 4 stars. And, as an aside, the cover is beautiful! Thank you, NetGalley and Atmosphere Press for the eARC.

Enjoyed this read......But warning is heavy hitting in the domestic violence sector.
I could relate to the storyline of this novel which drew me in even more.
Love Liz the main character, being left alone to her own devices at the age 15 she becomes a very independent young women. Kind of naive at times as she was not versed on being street smart when it came to love....but blinded by love all to real for me.
This book was very engaging and empowering
