Tragedy without justice
This is a well-written account of the murder of young up-and-coming actress Dominique Dunne by her abusive, controlling ex-boyfriend, John Sweeney.
This is one of the reasons all children should be taught self-defense at an early age. Children should also be assured of their self-worth so they don't put up with this kind of behavior and don't forgive their abusers and "give them another chance." If that sounds un-Christian to you, you must believe Christ wants you to be abused and murdered.
A protective order is only a piece of paper.

Erica Thomas's book on the murder of the lovely and talented Dominique Dunne is a accurate account of the young actress's murder at the hands of her abusive ex-boyfriend. However, at 42 pages long the book is extremely short and only tells what most of us already knew. However, the book is a haunting reminder of the domestic abuse that many women live with.
