Publisher's Synopsis
Serpent in the House will startle your senses with shocking true stories of violence and crime. It will awaken anger in some, sadness in others, and strong disagreement as well. But in the end, it will provide incredibly thought-provoking images of a culture spinning dangerously out of control for those willing to see the truth and do something about it. We cannot prevent all the violence happening in our lives and around us. It is our reality. But we can choose not to ignore it either-not to deny or become de-sensitized by the sheer volume of so much crime. Knowledge is power, and Serpent is a wealth of information that is empowering for its readers. Writing in clear and vivid detail, the author presents valuable insight into the origins of abuse and its path to societal violence. D.H. Blake has practiced as a mental health counselor for over twenty-five years, specializing in criminal offenders, addictions and domestic violence. She presents specific examples from her career and experience to narrate how the serpent of violence first creeps into our private lives, and ultimately, slithers out to commit acts of social violence.
