Overview

"January 4th-6th, 1996, Pat E. Robinson was kidnapped, chained and sexually abused. A month after she was kidnapped, on February 14, 1996, on Valentine's Day, Robinson testified in the Indiana Senate Hearing Committee on Senate Bills to protect domestic violence victims. The bill was presented to exempt victims of domestic violence from paying a $100 filing fee for an emergency restraining order. Robinson paid the $100 fee for a protection order against her abuser. Robinson was a faithful contributor yearly to the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence and received gratitude from ICDV Executive Director, Laura Berry. At a women's conference, Robinson had the pleasure of meeting Anna Quindlen, best-selling novelist. ""Black and Blue"" was always Robinson's favorite. Quindlen encouraged Robinson to author her true story. She signed the book ""For Pat - ""Who Understands."" Anna Quindlen, this is for you!
