An excerpt of my book...The Wives of Machismo

At that moment, the bathroom door opens, "Isabel, what happened?" asks Isabel's mom.

Isabel removed the towel. She has a busted lip and a big cut on her forehead.

"Isabel, who did this to you?" her mom asks.

Scared to tell her mom, she whispers, "It was Juan."

"Why did Juan do this to you? she asks.

Isabel cries thinking her Mom may hug her or hold her. Instead her Mom begins to yell.

"What did you do? You had to have done something wrong for Juan to do this to you!"

Isabel frowns and is confused at her mom's reaction.

'Mom, I didn't do anything. All I did was ask him what was wrong because he wasn't talking to me." cried Isabel.

"Isabel! You need to learn to keep your mouth shut! Men don't like to be questioned," her mom says.

"Mom, a man isn't supposed to hit a woman," says Isabel.

Victoria, are you okay?" he asks in a panic. "I'm okay, she says in a quiet voice. "Victoria, get your purse and whatever you can't leave behind and come with me, now." he says as tears begin to roll down his face. She stutters, "W

One day, you may just walk away.
