" Three da' Hard Way: It's Only Just Begun" is the first book of a trilogy in which Robin L. Cooper speaks about her personal experiences with teenage dating abuse and violence. She shares detailed accounts of her fears and frustrations which began at the age of fifteen while three months pregnant with her first child. Although this storyline is capable of standing independently it is followed by, "Three da' Hard Way: Caught in the Middle" and the final book in the trilogy entitled, "Three da' Hard Way: A Way of Escape." In these books, Ms. Cooper provides illuminating insight into the unanswered questions that pervade perceptions of domestic violence relationships.
