He Never Hit Me A True Story | Jane Bryant If you’re ready to be enlightened and help end abuse, read this book. It will hit your heart and soul and show you the way out. ~Mark Victor Hansen #1 Best Selling Author: Chicken Soup for the Soul Series (Over 100 Million copies worldwide) He Never Hit Me gives a real-life glimpse into what it’s like living with daily emotional abuse. She had wanted him to hit her, to strike her, to bruise her skin. No, she didn’t want the pain or the humiliation, but she wanted the outside of her body to match the inside of her shredded heart. Then she would have something to show! Then everyone would know how much he really hurt her and the children, and she would have something tangible to hold on to and hold up to the world. But he was far too cunning for that; and he knew that what he could do to her was much worse… The invisible scars he inflicted reached her marrow and rooted in her soul… As Jane describes the events of her marriage, readers will gain insight into their own lives and relationships - or the lives of friends and loved ones - who may be going through similar circumstances. They will find courage in watching Jane gain the strength to get out and stay out. The first step in healing is awareness, and He Never Hit Me is a powerful mirror for far too many women’s unseen wounds. ~Joel Brandley Therapist MS,MC,CMHC.
