Community read: ‘No Visible Bruises’
The Scarsdale Public Library and Scarsdale Edgemont Family Counseling Service’s Safe Coalition encourage participation in a community book read about the origins and course of gender violence in our society.
On Tuesday, April 18, at 7 p.m., author Rachel Louise Snyder will discuss her book, “No Visible Bruises: What We Don't Know About Domestic Violence Can Kill Us” via Zoom. The book, released in 2019, won numerous awards and was one of The New York Times Top 10 Books of the Year. In her book, Snyder presents stories of victims, perpetrators, law enforcement and others, exploring the far reaching impact of domestic violence and what it could take to address the root of the problem.
“No Visible Bruises” reveals that one of America’s most urgent social problems takes place behind closed doors, and that the most dangerous place for a woman, statistically, is her own home. Whether we call it domestic violence, private violence, or intimate terrorism, it has a far more pervasive impact on our society than many realize.
Copies of the book are available to borrow from the Scarsdale Public Library, and the book is available to purchase with a 10% discount at the Bronx River Bookstore in Scarsdale Village.
The program is sponsored by the Scarsdale Public Library and Scarsdale Edgemont Famiy Counseling Service along with Friends of the Scarsdale Library and Hitchcock Presbyterian Church.
Register at bit.ly/NoVisibleBruises; a Zoom link will be emailed about one hour before the program starts.
