| "This book is a must read for anyone wanting to learn about violence in the home, anyone interested in stopping domestic/family violence and in educating and overhauling our system with these cases.” Doreen Nicholas, Training Coordinator, Arizona Coalition Against Domestic Violence |
| “It is a wake up call loaded with warnings and information for victims and their advocates. We need more advocates with the courage, stamina and persistence of Jeanne King to continue, against all odds, the challenge to stop domestic violence and expose legal and professional systems that perpetuate it.” Del Martin, Author of Battered Wives |
“I have completed All But My Soul and in fact in my last presentation I incorporated some of your personal lessons into my lecture. To date I have read more than 100 books concerning domestic violence. Yours without a doubt was the most personal and painful to read. I could feel your pain and the pain of your children. It is what we need more of and that is books that tell the story from the heart and not just from the research libraries. It also makes the point quite clearly, regardless of your education or background our society needs to educate all of us concerning this issue. Too many survivors know only after the journey that if they knew the beast and understood the enigma they would not be a domestic violence survivor. It quite clearly spells out the lesson too often lost, ‘No one is immune’.” Dr. Richard L. Davis, Author of Domestic Violence: Facts and Fallacies, and Harvard University Professor |
| “I have come across many horrifying cases of abuse but none, I think, as damaging to wife and children. I have felt, since, dealing with domestic abuse, that the court does more harm than the husband – women are so powerless in its grasp. The hurtful details of All But My Soul and Jeanne King’s final extrication should offer both help and solace to many battered women.” Dr. Mary Susan Miller, Author of No Visible Wounds: Identifying Nonphysical Abuse of Women by Their Men |
| “This book is an excellent organization of the vast territory of physical and psychological abuse. It should be a companion of every victim and every mental health worker.” Dr. John Gottman, Author of When Men Batter Women |
| “All But My Soul is a page-turner and a horrific story of abuse, physical, mental and jurisdictional. It is, of course, a very personal story, but also a surprising condemnation of the family court as Jeanne King experienced it. The distortion of justice that she relates is downright scary.” Bruce Bond, Freelance Writer |
| “I was drawn into the author’s personal odyssey of loving wife to battered woman and victim of the courts with its amazingly candid and detailed retelling. Her heart-rendering tale of protecting her three sons from their brutal father is both riveting and enlightening. Nowhere else are the pitfalls of due process and litigation abuse revealed more clearly. Nowhere else is the dynamic of the Cycle of Violence better illustrated. It is an amazing story of the strength and courage behind the fight against family abuse and corruption in the system, a plague crossing all race, gender and economic strata of our nation.” P. Fong, Marketing Consultant and Adult Survivor of Child Abuse |
“All But My Soul is a compelling and compassionate exposé of family violence and the abuse of the judicial process. This story needed to be told and must be read.” Dr. Robert Renard, Holistic Medicine |
| “I don’t know how Dr. King survived, how she kept picking herself up and how she is walking today.” S. Summey, Real Estate Broker |
| “I'd finally grasped the profile of the abuser; but until I read Dr. King's book, I hadn't made the leap of understanding required to see how this profile infiltrates entire legal systems. Thanks to Dr. King’s book, I have a newfound understanding of the abuse dynamic and how it can be found, not only in the home, but in the domestic legal system as well.” Kathryn Kazan, Social Worker |
| “In reading All But My Soul, I relived the trauma of my own victimization and re-victimization. It added validation and affirmation. I’m most impressed with the fact that Dr. King maintained the stamina and presence of mind to produce such a thorough and fascinating documentary. I venture to say that her ability to do so was Divinely channeled for the sake of us all! This is a must read, an important wakening for those in victim advocacy fields and anyone facing the unpleasant prospect of divorce litigation.” Vic Newman, Domestic Abuse Survivor |
| “This is the first book that I could get into and identify with the writer. I couldn’t lay it down. It holds me. All But My Soul gives you insight into some of the traps that a person can fall into. It lifted some guilt I carried from that time.” Betty Young-Groebner, Cosmetician |
| “I couldn’t put it down. I was up until 3:00 AM a few nights reading it. It got me thinking of the way I live my life now. My husband can be abusive. One day he threw our daughter’s toys because he was mad at me and he told me that I am the one that caused him to do it and it’s my fault. Your book helped me realize I am not responsible for his actions. I told him he’s got to stop telling me things that he does are my fault. I told him I don’t control his actions, he lifted the toy and made the decision for his arm to throw it. I felt so much better by not letting him push it on me.” Tanja Bencic, Marketing Consultant |
“The educational research in All But My Soul allows you to personalize the story and makes it self-reflective. This helps you evaluate your relationships.” Dr. Joseph Davis, Arizona State University Professor |
| “To break the destructive cycle of abuse in our lives and in the lives of our children, it is imperative that we learn how to recognize abuse in its many forms and to understand its insidious dynamics. I feel it is virtually impossible to do this alone. We can learn how from this book. Dr. King is setting the unparalleled example that victims of abuse need no longer hide out in the closet. She has lifted herself from her oppression and has written a book that has potential to help us heal the great generational suffering of abuse in our society.” Joe Nicely, Author of Visions of Thousands Years of Peace. |
