It was a great experience to be interviewed on CBC radio’s B.C. Almanac. The
show airs throughout all of B.C. so it was a wonderful opportunity to raise
the issues we are concerned about with a large audience.
But the most amazing part was what happened the day after the show aired.
Our distributor was inundated with calls from all over the province and by
the end of the day 1,000 copies of the book had been shipped and Chapters
on-line began carrying it.
This experience confirmed what Jill and I already believed to be true. The
information in “When Love Hurts” resonates with women who are living with
abuse. A lot of the interview was focused on forms of abuse that are less
often identified by society (financial and sexual for example). As always
happens when this information is shared, women feel understood, sometimes
for the first time.
We are so thankful to CBC for helping us to reach out with this vital
information. It is exciting to think about women, who have been living in
confusion and feeling it was their fault, to finally get the support and
affirmation they deserve.

Great article. I never thought about the key benefits of disagreeing! Youre right though, that people rarely disagree in a very respectful way. If youre not respectful, chances are that your comment is not approved or deleted.
Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this is magnificent blog. An excellent read. I will definitely be back.
