On Tuesday, I will be listing Letters To Survivors on Amazon for a one-day sale price of $12 each. My goal is to jump sale rank and capture top spots in its category, so if anyone wants to stock up please watch Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/Letters-Survivors-Words-Comfort-Recovering/dp/1450728839 .

On a related note, please contribute reviews to Amazon--they only have three so far.

Thanks everyone!

So! What was the end result ?

I ordered one too. Looking forward to getting it.

LTS peaked at #18 in its main category (self-help: abuse), which is pretty good because all the books above that are longstanding classics like The Gift of Fear, The AA Big Book, Courage to Heal, etc.

Since I'm too lazy to do anything about it, there are still copies at the sale price yet today...

Matt, do you have any recommendations to where I donate the books I ordered? Battered womens shelter, crisis center ..??

EmpoweredOKC 03/02/2011

Yes, those are perfect choices. Make sure they get into the hands of the director, though, because any choices to order more would have to come through her.

I can do that too!!!!! Ok, glad you didn't change anything cause I was CRAMMED yesterday. I will order more, and write reviews today. Promise!!

LTS peaked at #13. Of course, it won't hold that position, but it was a nice place to reach!

I'm curious how many would have to sell at once to take #1, even temporarily...Anyone want to buy a hundred copies at once and see?

deleted_user 03/02/2011

Yeah.... I'll get right on that ;)

This would be AWESOME mandatory reading for women's study classes in college. I think it should be mandatory reading for a high school class like health, or even justice studies. Both male and female readers, especially at that age could benefit.

@scubagirl, that is genius... writing letters to faculty over in criminal justice, psychology, and women's studies!

You mention Women's Studies classes in college. I was just thinking about how did I manage to get though four years at a woman's college and take a Women's Studies class and never dealt or seen the rape for what it was. I bet it was the time. It wasn't even mentioned in a woman's studies class even though I read articles on "rape"

Yes this would definitely be a good book for classes.
