Erica Staab-Abscher is the executive director of the HOPE Center in Faribault, a domestic violence and sexual assault advocacy organization serving all of Rice County based in Faribault.

She has written her second book, "She Stays," and will be stopping by the KDHL studio to talk about it.

Staab-Abscher notes on the back cover of her book she has worked as an advocate for victims of domestic violence for the past 18 years and there is one question that haunts her every time it's asked, "Why does she stay?"

Through the words and experiences of the hundreds of women, Staab-Abscher has worked with she says, "here is their answer."

I have to admit virtually every time I have visited with Staab-Abscher on AM Minnesota about her work at the HOPE Center I have probably asked that question. Because it makes no sense to me that a person would put up with abuse from anyone.

Staab-Abscher, who goes by her maiden name as author, enjoys writing some poetry and taking photos, so this book includes a bit of both. The pictures are very good to my untrained eye.

All proceeds from the sale of the book will benefit HOPE Center.

I hope you will tune in at 9:30AM, and if you can't listen then go to our YouTube channel and watch the show.
