I am happy to have this for you now. This is part two of a two lengthy episodes. In this case, lengthy means I am sharing a lot... The WHEN DATING HURTS book is a memoir about my daughter Kristin's murder in 2005 due to dating violence. Reviews describe it as having short, gripping chapters that mix raw family story with lessons learned. It's more narrative than structured—think chronological heartbreak plus practical takeaways. If you're interested in this book (that can save lives), find it on Amazon in audiobook, paperback, and e-book. People mostly call it \"heartbreaking—like, gut-punch level sad—because it's a dad's raw account of losing his daughter Kristin to dating violence back in 2005\". Readers say it hits hard emotionally, leaves them in tears, but also feels eye-opening and urgent. They love how Bill mixes the family's grief with real talk on red flags—like controlling stuff or jealousy—that everyone misses until it's too late. On Amazon it's sitting at 4.9 stars from over a hundred reviews; folks write things like \"this book will save lives\" or \"it stole my heart and educated me.\" Goodreads averages around 4.5, with people urging parents, teens, even teachers to read it—phrases like \"must-read for every parent\" or \"I feel like I knew Kristin\" pop up a lot. And, \"It's not just sorrow; it's inspiring too\". Readers admire the Mitchells turning pain into advocacy, saying it empowers you to spot abuse early and speak up. They say, \"Super recommended if you're into true stories that double as wake-up calls.\" I hope you read my book. I wrote it for you even though we have never met. We cannot bring back Kristin, but she would want you to live a long life and be happy.
