{"product_id":"9780615328478","title":"A Season for Savages","description":"\u003cp\u003eI was infuriated, one day, when a policeman voiced his opinion by saying that \"domestic exploitation\" was just a minor domestic problem, and not highly ranked on their list of priorities. Upon a careful investigation, I discovered that he was merely articulating an attitude, and a consensus widely cultivated for centuries. We've become accustomed to hearing the phrase \"times have changed\", and I all heartedly believed in that premise — since we see ourselves as instruments of change. Yes, things have changed — but not for women.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is based on a true story. Actually, 1.5 million real stories of savagery. As that is the approximate number of women currently being abused in this country. Ranging from subtle verbal and emotional degradation — to extreme violence such as maiming, stabbing, burning, beating, forced prostitution, and murder.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a society, we get what we deserve. We can no longer look the other way, proclaim that we are civilized, and pretend that it just doesn't impact our lives...    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoanna Taplin, my heroine and champion was caught in a vicious, agonizing trap. And rose from the ashes — against all odds — to break out of that deadly cycle of violence. Her triumphant journey from the depth of hell to personal victory, would inspire anyone hoping for a better world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Levine, Bella","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47019043455216,"sku":"9780615328478","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780615328478","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
