Kamal Dhillon is an author, an inspirational speaker and a
domestic violence counselor. Her book, Black & Blue Sari, is a
harrowing autobiography of the abuse and torment she suffered through by
the hands of her husband after her marriage. Her story and message is
one that will affect you, disturb you, enrage you and will open your
eyes to the reality and severity of domestic violence.
After an
arranged marriage into an influential and wealthy family, the life
of a young South Asian girl is drastically changed for the
worse. Married in her late teens into a very wealthy and influential
family, Kamal dreamed of a life as a princess. This dream soon faded
and Kamal realized the harsh reality of her new life.
With promises
of a fairy tale life echoing in her ears, she is thrown into a
world of abuse, violence and torture. Afraid for the lives of her
family and children, she constantly looked death in the face but
survived to tell her story. She found real peace in her life when she accepted Jesus as her Lord and Saviour.
Black and Blue Sari is a true
story about the cost of leaving a toxic relationship and how the
transition can empower you and those around you.
Domestic violence is
an epidemic that leaves no community unaffected; one in every four
women will experience domestic violence in their lifetime.
For those who have found their dreams crashing around them, her book, BLACK & BLUE SARI will be both an eye-opener and of real comfort.
Her book can be purchased at AMAZON.COM

I hope that many people will read this book and become more aware of the reality of domestic violence. By the way, emotional and verbal threats and abuse are just as damaging as physical abuse! And all forms of abuse can hide in the most unexpected places. Good on you for posting this, Rita.
