One in four: the number of women who will experience domestic abuse or violence. Three per day: the number of women killed in domestic disputes. Ten million: the number of children exposed to domestic violence each year. AND THEY ARE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS EVERYWHERE, IN EVERY WALK OF LIFE. Imagine an attractive, high-powered, female executive who realizes that her twenty-year relationship has turned her into a victim of domestic abuse. Imagine there are children to consider. And imagine the emotional abuse she has endured, abuse that has escalated as she questions her own culpability in allowing it, becomes physical and potentially fatal. Every year, domestic abuse - whether physical, financial, or emotional - affects one in four women in the country. That's more than are affected by breast, ovarian, and lung cancers combined. Susan Sparks wants to change this. SPARKS IN LOVE is a survivor's story. Giving you a look from the inside, it shows what happens when you fall in love with the wrong person and ignore the warning signs. Highlighting the signs of domestic abuse with stories from her own life, Sparks takes the reader on a journey designed to expose both the subtle and overt aspects of abuse. A cautionary tale to those entering relationships, as well as reassurance to those still enmeshed in abuse, the message is clear: there are safe ways out and life after abuse. Each victim has the right to become a SODA(TM): a Survivor of Domestic Abuse. Eminently readable, poignant and informative, compelling and horrifying, SPARKS IN LOVE is an inspirational telling of one woman's story that becomes everywoman's story for the one in four women who become victims of domestic abuse.

Autorenporträt
SUSAN SPARKS is an author, a journalist, an advocate, and entrepreneur. She is also a SODA®: a Survivor of Domestic Abuse. In college, courses in law and communication were Susan's focus, and she graduated with honors. Upon graduation, she combined her two passions and began her career as an investigative journalist, later working in The National Press Building where she reported, wrote and produced stories for national network news. Susan then transitioned to a career in IT, working in business development, operations, production, and product development. Six years ago Susan gathered the courage to break free from her abusive situation, sustaining both injury and emotional scars that will last a lifetime. As part of the healing process, she has turned her time and attention directly to the cause of helping others who are in abusive situations. To accomplish this, she is working diligently to raise the volume of the conversation about domestic abuse. Susan Sparks is the Principal of four enterprises, and one charity, all dedicated to helping people avoid, understand, and prevent domestic abuse; and she has built www.thesoda-pop.com as a home online where people can go for help, education, and to find a community of others who share the same story. SPARKS IN LOVE, which she hopes will serve as both an educational and cautionary tale to everyone who reads it, is Susan's first book. Susan is currently working on three other books to further the cause and hopes to bring SPARKS IN LOVE to television soon. Mom to two teenagers, Susan spends her spare time (what mom has spare time?) with friends and family, her new puppy, and dreaming about free time to travel!
