What Others Say
VICTORY OVER VIOLENCE is an important contribution to the struggle against domestic violence. Nancy Salamone has written a forthright account of her double life as a skilled high-level professional woman in business and an abused and assaulted wife at home. This compelling history of survival, escape, and freedom challenges the stereotype that women are victimized because they lack the education and employment skills to be independent of their violent spouses. Nancy Salamone shows that any woman can suffer from domestic violence and there is hope for escape and a good life with the support of family, friends, and co-workers who respond when they see signs of injury and distress in a woman close to them.

“Nancy provided "The Business of Me" seminar to
members of our Professional Women's Group. Our clients found the seminar
to be very helpful, informative, and encouraging. I was particularly
impressed with Nancy's holistic approach to the subject manner and
skillful interaction with the group. She facilitated a warm and
comfortable atmosphere for our clients to talk freely about money
concerns while also providing them with useful information and practical
financial advice, a unique combination among financial seminars. Our
clients were truly energized and inspired by the experience.”

“I could never thank you enough for bringing your incredible gifts to Vera House. It has been a blessing to have you with us. I look forward to our continued partnership.”
Randi Bregman, Executive Director, Vera House
In her book “Victory Over Violence,” Nancy shares her personal story of a woman with two lives – a life of competence at work, and a life of terror at home. She also shares how she learned to be truly free…in hopes that by sharing her story, others will learn that they can become free as well. Nancy also provides insights from her personal perspective into some of the most difficult questions often asked about victims of domestic violence. This story is precious, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful.

General Statistics
In February of 2008, the CDC
released the most comprehensive US survey regarding intimate partner violence.
CDC researchers asked adult participants in the 2005 Behavioral Risk Factor
Surveillance System survey if they would answer questions about
intimate-partner violence. More than 70,000 Americans -- just over half those
asked -- agreed.
The results:
- 23.6% of women and 11.5% of men reported at least one lifetime episode of intimate-partner violence.
- In households with incomes under $15,000 per year, 35.5% of women and 20.7% of men suffered violence from an intimate partner.
- 43% of women and 26% of men in multiracial non-Hispanic households suffered partner violence.
- 39% of women and 18.6% of men in American Indian/Alaska Native households suffered partner violence.
- 26.8% of women and 15.5% of men in white non-Hispanic households suffered partner violence.
- 29.2% of women and 23.3% of men in black non-Hispanic households suffered partner violence.
- 20.5% of women and 15.5% of men in Hispanic households suffered partner violence.
