Mejor sola que mal acompa?ada: para la mujer golpeada / For the Latina in an Abusive Relationship (edición bilingüe)

If you're a Latina involved in a physically or emotionally abusive relationship, this book is for you. "Mejor Sola Que Mal Acompanada" offers support, understanding, and practical information on many issues and questions, including: what abuse is; family and cultural expectations; getting police, medical, and legal assistance; where you can go if you leave your home; what the church may say; protecting your children; and dealing with discrimination.

This book also discusses special problems of the undocumented woman, the woman with few resources, and the woman who speaks little or no English. Informative and affirming, "Mejor Sola" is an invaluable resource for counselors, shelter workers and activists, and an empowering handbook for the Latina who wants to break free from the cycle of abuse.
