WHEN DATING HURTS: What we learned about dating violence after our daughter's tragic death

WHEN DATING HURTS is the breathtaking memoir of the dating violence murder of the Mitchell family's daughter.

In June 2005, Kristin Mitchell was killed by her ex-boyfriend 20 days after her college graduation. Kristin’s family was faced with a huge decision: concentrate on healing themselves, or use their experience to help others who might face a similar situation.

"When Dating Hurts" is a detailed account of everything the Mitchells learned the hard way beginning with the call nobody wants from police detectives. Readers learn how dating violence can seize any family in any community.

Besides detailing the tragedy, this book offers sound advice gained from domestic violence counselors, law enforcement professionals, and actual dating violence survivors. Had the Mitchells read a book like "When Dating Hurts", they are certain Kristin would be alive today. Parents should read it for the sake of their daughters, a son, or a sister, a niece, a friend, or a co-worker.

Read it then share what you learn because 1 in 3 women will suffer severe physical violence at the hands of an intimate partner during their lifetimes. It typically happens between the ages of 16-24 but can happen at any age.

The Mitchell family hopes that reading "When Dating Hurts" will save our innocent children. Allow this book to help someone you care about.
