Book Synopsis
No Legal Way Out tells the story of one woman who felt trapped in an abusive relationship and in a system that gave her no way to escape.

Trade Review
I highly recommend this well-written, well-referenced, and accessible book as a must-read for the legal profession. No Legal Way Out should be part of the curriculum for law, women's studies, sociology, and other academic programs that deal with domestic abuse. -- Bobbie A. Walker, Certified Specialist in Criminal Law * Canadian Law Library Review *
