Columbus Authors Marala Scott and Tré Parker have written a powerful and gripping book titled In Our House, Perception vs. Reality, which chronicles the memoir about domestic violence and how it affects a family.

The setting of this memoir takes place in a small city outside of Cleveland. Scott provides vivid recollections of her childhood experiences with domestic violence, and provides analytical perspectives as an adult.

The book's subject, Collin, is a brilliant, handsome and charming man to the outside world, recruited by both the CIA and IBM. The reality was a hellish nightmare of verbal and atrocious physical abuse for Alley, his beautiful wife, and their six children. Alley feels helpless to protect her children from Colin's constant attacks when three mysterious women visit her and promise he will never hurt them again - if she gives them what they want.

This horror-filled story between Colin's appetite for abuse versus Alley's fight against the domestic violence destroying her family was written to expose the reality of domestic violence and provide answers on how to avoid a similar situation.

The book is available for sale at Barnes & Noble and at www.amazon.com. Scott and Parker are currently touring the area with speaking engagements, and will embark upon a national college tour in the spring.
