About this event
The WiNUP Mid-Atlantic book club will hold its next meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 20. Author Bill Mitchell will be joining the call to discuss his book and podcast, both titled “When Dating Hurts.” The book and podcast are a memoir chronicling the experience of the Mitchell family after the dating violence murder of their 20-year-old daughter, Kristin.
From Goodreads:
“Readers see how dating violence can seize any family in any community. Besides detailing a tragedy, this book offers sound advice gained from domestic violence counselors, law enforcement professionals, and actual dating violence survivors. Had the Mitchells read a book like "When Dating Hurts", they are certain Kristin would be alive today. Parents should read it for the sake of their daughters, a son, or a sister, a niece, a friend, or a co-worker. Read it then share what you learn because 1 in 3 women will suffer severe physical violence at the hands of an intimate partner during their lifetimes. It typically happens between the ages of 16-24, but can happen at any age. The Mitchell family hopes that reading "When Dating Hurts" will save a few of our innocent children.”
