Discussion → To Hit a Woman (Lightly)

My husband's open hand smacked against my right cheek. The force of the blow spun me in a half circle to the living room floor. Bright neon sparks flashed around me, like the first time I witnessed a Fourth of July celebration.

This is powerful. I once witnessed a scene like this when I was a child and I'll never forget it. What a great juxtaposition: the idea of a celebration and a... fight.

I'm sorry you had to see such a thing. This is a story of a woman standing up for herself and struggling to understand issues burried by the atatus quo.

yep - this grabbed me, but if i was worried about reading a violence toward women story, it would ward me off... so... i think that's smart, and i think it's fair!
