Book Reviews of A Woman Scorn'd
Book Review: "A Woman Scorn'd." Philadelphia novelist earns Five Liberty Bells for examination of domestic abuse.
Summary: 5 Stars
An insider's view of domestic abuse is set forth in "A Woman Scorn'd," by Philadelphia novelist Dorothy Goins.
Centering around Manhattan psychotherapist, Dr. Roxane Brissett, the book explores the struggles of her patients and herself as they seek to cope with, recover from and prevail over the emotional scars caused by violence and molestation.
The book is set among handsome, young professionals on the fast track. It weaves tales of stock market fraud, murder and fantastic sex around the narrative about abuse and healing. The book explores the tie between warm supportive famlies and children who rise far above the modest circumstances of their birth.
The book teaches that only after a victim is able to gush out suppressed pain, can she succeed at love and master life's challenges. Goins shows that faith should not be discounted as a path to healing.
Five Liberty Bells for a great Philadelphia writer.
