“My world felt like skeins of deep red yarn strung across, around, and under my body, creating a pattern of strings – layered, stacked, and tangled. Strings tied so tightly around my body I was trapped. Powerless. Immobile. Each red thread was so tangled, I did not even know where to begin to untangle my lifetime of experiences, pain and wounds. Yet, in my journey to find healing and independence, God continued to show up and helped me untangle each string.”
In Hiding Next Door, Dr. Brooke Jones skillfully and metaphorically describes her own exposure and experiences to various forms of abuse and violence throughout her lifetime. In this book, a clear connection is made between abusive power and control tactics, and how these specific tactics impacted a girl, teen and adult woman uniquely to be groomed for abusive relationships. Understanding how it occurs gives us hope to reduce violence. Radical change from systemic, generational, and spiritual abuse is possible.
