'I have never shared the fact that I was a child of domestic violence. And, if I had not met Brian Martin, I don’t know if I would have. What appeals to me most about Brian’s approach is that it is based on empowerment. Our experiences as children living with domestic violence have given us the equipment-a secret weapon, if you will-to overcome all kinds of obstacles in our lives. It means we arenotvictims, we are victorious.'Tony Robbins, bestselling author and Peal Performance strategist

But for anyone who grew up in a violent household, it could very well be the most important reading.'NJ.com
