The moral that Kathleen B. Jones finds in her story is this: æI have wanted to convey the message that violence can hit anyone . . . . but, more than anything, I have wanted to make it clear that even strong women can become victims.Æ . . . JonesÆ sometimes agonized, sometimes lyrical progress toward this realization is so earnest and unsparingly self-searching that I came to see the value of her brave book: that it can persuade other complacent women that victims are not a class apart.
~WomenÆs Review of Books
Jones explores whether any of usùwomen and menùare ever really in control of our own lives and our intimate relationships with others. . . . Living Between Danger and Love is . . . compelling and deeply thought-provoking.
~San Diego UnionûTribune
Kathleen Jones shows us the complex and painful side of modern feminismÆs unfinished agenda. Living Between Danger and Love brings home the stories of domestic violence that we all read in the newspapers. Her book makes you realize that this type of tragedy can happen to someone like me, someone like you, or someone you love.
~Patricia Ireland, President, National Organization for Women
A thickly braided marvel: part memoir, part memorial and lamentation, part compassionate feminist cosmology. Living Between Danger and Love is a fast read that makes you think long and hard.
~Rickie Solinger, author of Wake Up Little Susie: Single Pregnancy and Race before Roe v. Wade
A compelling, vivid account that highlights how any woman can become a victim of domestic violence. It is equally the story of Kathleen Jones, who shares her own pain and resulting activism in trying to make sense of this studentÆs tragedy and prevent other deaths.
~Joan Zorza, editor of Domestic Violence Report
