It will save lives." -Washington Post “Essential, devastating reading.” -Cheryl Strayed, New York Times Book Review An award-winning journalist's intimate investigation of the true scope of domestic violence, revealing how the roots of America's most pressing social crises are buried in abuse that happens behind closed doors. We call it domestic violence. We call it private violence. Sometimes we call it intimate terrorism. But whatever we call it, we generally do not believe it has anything at all to do with us, despite the World Health Organization deeming it a “global epidemic.” In America, domestic violence accounts for 15 percent of all violent crime, and yet it remains locked in silence, even as its tendrils reach unseen into so many of our most pressing national issues, from our economy to our education system, from mass shootings to mass incarceration to #MeToo. We still have not taken the true measure of this problem. In No Visible Bruises, journalist Rachel Louise Snyder gives context for what we don't know we're seeing. She frames this urgent and immersive account of the scale of domestic violence in our country around key stories that explode the common myths-that if things were bad enough, victims would just leave; that a violent person cannot become nonviolent; that shelter is an adequate response; and most insidiously that violence inside the home is a private matter, sealed from the public sphere and disconnected from other forms of violence. Through the stories of victims, perpetrators, law enforcement, and reform movements from across the country, Snyder explores the real roots of private violence, its far-reaching consequences for society, and what it will take to truly address it.

I just finished No Visible Bruises and found a lot that was valuable in it. I have worked with child survivors of domestic abuse and have one relative who fled an abusive marriage and another who was killed by a family member. The degree to which Snyder embeds herself with police officers, counselors, and others addressing this complicated and devastating problem is admirable. The story of the Cleveland police officer, in particular, is very moving.However, there were two major omissions. The first is the absence of religion as a confounding factor. The Southern Baptist Convention is in turmoil over the churches’ response, or lack thereof, to domestic violence. This is an issue not just for Baptists, but for all faiths that promote men’s superiority and women’s submission. Snyder does not address the role of religion and religious organizations, not as an exacerbating factor nor as an avenue for victims to get help.The second is the omission of middle/upper class abuse among her cases. A shelter worker I spoke to told me that wealthier women have a much harder time getting help - they are often economically dependent, they fear no one would believe their successful husband was doing this, and they are often more isolated within their community. This omission weakens the book considerably, as readers who are middle/upper class might (continue to) view domestic violence as a problem of “those” people. Of course it is not, but a reader of Snyder’s book would not come away with that impression.Snyder makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of domestic violence as progressive and pervasive. However, the narrowness of her focus makes the book less informative than it might have been.
