YEARS OF BEING SILENCED - CAGED

Caged

Caged is the true never-before-told other side of an international, headline story that captivated audiences around the world in 2015. From the Today Show, NBC News, small-town newspapers, to Al Jazeera, everyone told their own version of the events that left Lara and her daughters exiled, the Commanding Officer of Guantanamo Bay’s Naval Base dismissed, and her husband dead. Lara Sabanosh takes readers through the first twenty years of her tumultuous marriage to Christopher Tur and details events as she lived them on the night Christopher went missing. The night her life would change forever. 

Caged calls into question the adequacy of current domestic violence policies and procedures for prevention, aid, and intervention. Readers from the military and survivors of domestic abuse, to mothers and those caught in their own web, will find Caged fascinating and emotional. It is the encompassing raw, honest, and inspiring open book of Lara Sabanosh’s life, now seven years in the making.

FACT & FIGURES

Domestic Violence, especially as a civil servant or in the military, is hard to overcome. The mindset of the abused and the limited effective resources do not help in the escape from violence, physical & emotional trauma, and financial obligation.
