Christina Crawford's devastating memoir, <i>Mommie Dearest</i> (over 5,000,000 copies sold), first as a book and later as a Hollywood film, made the American public aware of violence in the family. In <i>No Safe Place</i> she draws further on her personal story, adding sociological research for addictive behavior, depression, sleep disorders, chronic illness, suicide, delinquency, homelessness, and apparently "mindless" violent crime. A call to action--this impassioned book offers the hope that in facing the truth about our families we can save our society and ourselves.
