Saving Beauty from the Beast: How to Protect Your Daughter from an Unhealthy Relationship
Winner:Books for a Better Life -Relationships (2003)
Dating violence affects a huge number of teenage girls -- one in three girls between the ages of ten and eighteen reports having been assaulted by a boyfriend -- and can run the gamut from possessiveness to stalking to outright physical abuse. Often it is the girls with the highest selfesteem, those who believe they are in control of their lives and can bring out the best in their boyfriends, who find themselves in the grip of a relationship in which the tables have been turned.
This essential and timely book incorporates the insights and advice of experts in the fields of education, adolescent psychology, criminal justice, threat assessment, and sociology. Authors Crompton and Kessner also include the voices of teenagers and parents to provide an in-depth portrait of the dynamics of controlling behavior.

Praise for this book
"This is a groundbreaking book. Crompton and Kessner pull back the curtain on a crisis that has been hidden for too long. Saving Beauty from the Beast is a clear and powerfully written book that every parent should read. It's at once heartbreaking and empowering, managing to define the problem and offer insightful, realistic strategies any parent can use."
"A poignant yet straightforward guide for parents or anyone who wants to help a young woman in an abusive relationship. It is terribly painful when parents realize that their daughters are being hurt at the hands of someone who says they love them but SAVING BEAUTY FROM THE BEAST gives everyone involved the skills and strategies to end the abuse. It will be a difficult read for many parents but something every parent should do to raise healthy daughters."
