FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Alberta, Canada (April 08, 2016) - It’s time to give men voices when it comes to ending violence against women. The importance of engaging men and boys in the fight against family/domestic violence is becoming evident. This includes men who were once violent telling real stories about changing their ways to eventually have the redemption, wholeness, and love they sought in their family lives. The Brave Man Book aims to bring these courageous stories into public view and give hope to men who are on a path of destruction that they too can break the cycle of anger, abuse, or violence.

The Brave Man Book is an initiative to raise awareness about a segment of family and domestic violence situations. The founder of this initiative, Joan Lee Tu, is engaging the public and organizations that work with men in order to create this resource for men. This is her second social impact book project after publishing The Brave Book Project: Little Readers to raise awareness about preventing child traumas and abuses. Anyone who would like to help The Brave Man Book project can do so by sharing information about it through their work or on social media, contributing funds to the crowdfunding campaign (June 2016), or writing a story or letter for the book.

Joan Lee Tu is requesting original, unpublished, personal stories between 750-7500 words written by men who caused family/domestic violence and who changed their ways. She is also requesting letters from loved ones (i.e. children, wives, parents, siblings, friends) of men who changed their ways. She intends to publish the men’s personal stories and the letters from loved ones in an embracing and compassionate way into a soft-cover paperback and an eBook to be sold online. Written submissions should be sent in before December 1, 2016 to [email protected].
