Wife abuse is a common crime in America : experts estimate that some form of violence between spouses infects nearly 50 percent of all marriages. Unfortunately, evidence shows that Christian marriages are not immune. In this book Claire, a Christian, struggles with her identity as a woman, her role as a wife and mother, and her relationship with God. By the power of the Holy Spirit and the tender encouragement of counselor and author Esther Olson, Claire finds life, healing, and wholeness. No Place to Hide is a unique book on the subject of domestic violence because it tells a story that is typical of many abused women's lives and also provides practical help and advice for those who have been battered. --from back cover.
