Whom Shall I Fear: A Spiritual Journey of a Battered Woman (Atlanta, GA)

Lavon Morris-Grant never thought of herself as a victim of domestic violence. But in 1996, her husband shot her four times in front of their children and then killed himself. She is a survivor, with bullets still lodged in her body, and she wants to share her story in the hope that it might help others. Ms. Grant has spent the past few years healing emotionally and physically from the wounds of domestic violence. She has a strong and open relationship with her children and works vigilantly to minimize their emotional scars. She chronicled her experience of domestic abuse in her book Whom Shall I Fear: A Spiritual Journey of a Battered Woman. Ms. Morris-Grant is a native of New Jersey, and a graduate of New Jersey City University with a bachelor's degree in marketing.
