Not all cries are heard. Not all bruises are seen. And not all abusers are strangers.
In Behind Closed Doors: The Cry No One Hears, Will Anthony Jr. unveils the gripping, emotional story of Mercy and Peter—a couple whose marriage begins with charm but spirals into a hidden cycle of emotional, psychological, and physical abuse. Based on true events, this powerful narrative explores how intimate partner violence (IPV) can lurk behind closed doors and how culture, broken systems, and silence often empower abusers.
As Mercy fights to protect her children, escape her abusive husband, and navigate a justice system stacked against her, she becomes a voice for countless women—and men—who suffer quietly in similar torment. This book challenges communities, institutions, and individuals to confront abuse, support survivors, and create safe spaces for truth.
A compelling read for survivors, advocates, counsellors, and anyone passionate about ending gender-based violence, Behind Closed Doors offers not just a story, but a call to action.
