[LM_NET] Target: Books for battered woman

[Marilyn Johnson <mjohns@HOLBROOK.K12.AZ.US>]

Will you please recommend titles I can give to a 24-year-old young woman who has 
been beaten by her boyfriend?  Although her physical symptoms have healed, she's 
experiencing classic symptoms of battered women including loss of self-respect and 
trust, and blaming herself. She is not seeing the young man who beat her but at 
times miss him.  She feels stupid and embarrassed about that. She is finally 
staying alone and making some progress. I'd like to help her with some well-chosen 
titles. She loves to read. 

Thanks for any help you can give me to help her.
