Book Description
Viral mom blogger Brooke Binkley tells her painful story about the domestic violence she endured while simultaneously becoming a public figure and uses her story to highlight the many types of domestic violence that both victims and survivors experience. On the outside, Brooke was the funny vlogger making moms laugh across the world, but behind closed doors she was experiencing nearly every form of domestic violence that existed. In this painful memoir, she shares her experience with domestic violence and how she planned for six weeks to ultimately escape the abuse. From her first domestic violence-related hospital visit to post-separation abuse, stalking and harassment, Brooke describes what it's like to be the victim of domestic violence- the leading cause of injury to women- more than car accidents, muggings, and rapes combined. This book answers the nagging question: "How did someone once described as a 'Firecracker' become a victim of physical, financial, emotional and sexual abuse?" and "Why did she stay?" Praise for Firecracker "In baring her soul through the telling of her most traumatic experiences, Brooke Binkley has offered healing to so many. As she bravely walks us through her nightmare with domestic abuse, she lays out the 'hows' and 'whys' of how it all happened and, in doing so, offers answers to those who still might not know how they themselves were ever taken in. There is solidarity in knowing you are not alone and through 'Firecracker,' Brooke, shines peace and light into the darkness for her fellow abuse survivors. This is a must-read if you are, or know, a victim or survivor of abuse. Honestly, I believe it should be required reading in every high school Health class. Thank you, Brooke!" - Lauri Walker from "Mama Needs a Nap." "Firecracker is a heartbreaking, thoughtful, and inspiring story that shows exactly how hard it is to walk away from an abusive relationship." - Clint Edwards: bestselling author of "I'm Sorry... Love, Your Husband. "From gaslighting to stalking to excessive control to physical violence, "Firecracker" is important because it tells the entire tale--the beginning, the falling in love part, the "why she stayed" part everyone always questions, and how Brooke finally became free. "Abuse" can mean many things--and the signs are often invisible to others. Brooke Binkley's courage in telling her truth will undoubtedly help many women identify their own signs of abuse, and believe that they, too, deserve to be safe, happy, and free." - Karen Johnson from "The 21st Century SAHM." "With immense grit and vulnerability, Brooke's brave survival story is destined to bring comfort, solidarity, and inspire freedom for 'Firecrackers' everywhere who have found themselves mentally, physically, emotionally beaten down by the very person who once promised to love them most. In the face of pain, Firecracker, quite simply, is a book of glorious hope for women everywhere." - Danielle Brower, Owner & Designer, Create Hope Cuffs "Firecracker is a painful and eye-opening memoir of how one woman found herself trapped in an abusive relationship and managed to escape. It's a memoir that will make you angry; bring you to tears; and, no doubt, inspire victims." - Meredith Ethington from "Perfection Pending by Meredith Ethington."
