The Burning Bed | 
#NoFemmeber I‘m not sure why but my first thought for #BurningBride was the Farrah Fawcett made for TV movie based on the true life story of Francine Hughes. After years of suffering from domestic violence, Francine takes justice into her own hands. This was a high profile case that really brought the issue of domestic abuse into the spotlight. #NonfictionNovember

Billypar Never heard of the book, movie, or real life case- will need to learn more! Such an important issue to be aware of, and books and film have a good opportunity to show both the level of terror families face, and how they respond. 6y
