Christina Crawford’s devastating memoir, Mommie Dearest (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 No Safe Place 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.
