How I came about the title of this book was after seeing and hearing about the abuse. The thought that kept running through my mind was what would it take for a woman to open her eyes. In the book there are numerous topics that are based on true stories that most women can relate to or know of someone who have experienced similar situations in their lives. In the chapters I talk about women in denial, having low self esteem, enduring mental and verbal abuse, domestic violence, and sex. In addition, signs of men who live on the down low. I also discuss the topic of religion and the stress that comes with being a ministers daughter and learning not to allow your religion to be used as an excuse to stay in an abusive relationship. Finally, in my book I encourage women that have been abused to release and let go of past emotions in order to move on with their lives.
